Dependence Breeds Inequality

Society cultivates luxuries through physical habituation, exemplified by the reliance on air conditioning, which becomes essential over time. Additionally, modern civilization imposes specific requirements to engage in social life, such as a four-year degree, a vehicle, and a cell phone, enforcing a cycle of dependency. This cycle leads to significant financial burdens, like incurring substantial student debt to gain employment. The growing necessity of these luxuries and requirements fosters extreme inequality, highlighting the critical concern of dependence generated by these societal constructs.
