#OMG WE ARE ALL HYPOCRITES

WE ARE ALL HYPOCRITES 

Yes, in some way we are all hypocrites.

This facebook post got me thinking about our so called modern society and the

hypocritical nature of it.  

However I didn't just look into the above.
 I spent time looking into a range of areas and countries it's a global problem that we are all play a part of the hypocrisy.
Take the time to have a look at few reports/paper/blogs articles yourself, below are a few I looked at:

So when you find fault with someone or something they are doing or a culture you don't understand,
get off the moral high ground.

UNIQUE WINE GLASSES

There is a large and variety of unique wine glasses

that will make reaching for it an amusing adventure without

a drop of the wine itself!

However the wine will make it sooo much better!

One glass just isn't enough sometimes! However that's a thing of the past!

WITH

"The new bottle glass"

Are you feeling a little tipsy or is that just your glass?  

Measuring Up!

Somethings wrong with my glass!

Wow! wine glasses that keep the wine cold. 

That glass is starting to look sexier than me!

I'm feeling a little of center!

I think I'll do this again......

I can sooooo relate!

CORPORATE OVER-LORDS

We are corporate over-lorded lend sheep and only we are to blame!

We buy their products and service and never ask!

• Who do they stand on to get the materials needed to make their products or supply their service 
• What is the cost not financial but in the human and environmental, because there is always a cost 
• Who does the government you elect bow down to and help?
• Who pays to recycle the waste created by their products (OMG! not the corporations)

WE ARE THE REASON CORPORATIONS ARE OVER-LORDS!!

Because we never ask and if we are truthfully "we don't care!" we like remaining ignorant with our iphones, facebook, cafes and our milky bar. 

OR 

This would never happen!

And the over-lords would never be.

The Privatization of Water: Nestlé Denies that Water is a Fundamental Human Right

The current Chairman and former CEO of Nestlé, the largest producer of food products in the world, believes that the answer to global water issues is privatization. This statement is on record from the wonderful company that has peddled junk food in the Amazon, has invested moneyto thwart the labeling of GMO-filled products, has a disturbing health and ethics record for its infant formula, and has deployed a cyber army to monitor Internet criticism and shape discussions in social media.

This is apparently the company we should trust to manage our water, despite the record of large bottling companies like Nestlé having a track record of creating shortages: CLICK PIC TO READ MORE..

SEARCHING FOR MY IDENTITY

As a mum you hope that you teach your daughter that she is wonderful, beautiful, creative and can achieve anything. However the world tends to teach them something different.

SEARCHING FOR MY IDENTITY 

If you are skinny you are anorexic.If you are overweight you are obese.If you are a virgin you are a goody two shoes.If you are not a virgin you are a slut.If you are friendly you are fake.If you are quiet you are rude.If you are open and expressive you are a bitch.If you are different you are an attention seeker.This is the world I live in.

March 26th, 2015

A new report published by the journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has drawn attention to a massive salary disparity in the U.S. nursing sector. Across the board, male nurses are outearning their female colleagues, despite the fact that they are outnumbered 10 to 1.

In hospitals, male nurses are earning $3,900 more than female nurses, a number that increases to $7,678 in ambulatory/outpatient settings. The gap is most pronounced for nurse anesthestists - males in this position earn a whopping $17,290 more than females every year.

This chart shows the salary gap between male and female registered nurses in the U.S. in 2013.
