Taking Negative people as a group, the traits below may be observed en masse. Also, behaviors of these people may still split into polar extremes within the sphere of negativity.

1. Food - Quantity most important, quality, not so much.

2. Education – Revered as an abstract not reality; in the other extreme it is necessary for making

social and business contacts.

3. Language – Casual register, based on survival.

4. Time – The present is most important; decisions are momentary and based on survival driven

emotions.

5. Family structure – In the one extreme it is matriarchal; in the other, depends on who has the

money.

6. Money – It is for spending; or in the other extreme, used as leverage for power.

7. Worldview – Sees the world in terms of local setting only, on the other end of the spectrum,

those would seek to conquer it.

8. Motivators – Survival, relationships, entertainment.

9. Love – And acceptance is conditional and related to social standing.

10. Fate – Believes in fate, cannot do much to mitigate chance, religion very important.

11. Religion – Either believes because ancestors did or because they feel like a victim who's only hope for the future rests upon divine intervention.

12. Cannot follow directions – To follow a sequential procedure is considered too difficult,

therefore avoided, taking the easy way out.

13. Their hands are always on others – They prefer to communicate in non-verbal ways due to a lack of effective reading or writing skills.

14. Laughs when disciplined – As a way of saving face in a matriarchal culture.

Situations which demonstrate the inequities between the global elite and everyone else :

War – The common people fight and die on both sides of a war and the elitists do nothing

except profit from the conflict.

Less Freedom – In this sense, is the ability to move. There are many places the elitist may go,

or places to participate in exclusive events, yet the serfs are barred from entering.

Inadequate Healthcare – Or in some cases non-existent Healthcare, while the elitist always

gets the best.

Unfavorable Education – As if making the grades aren't hard enough, the anomic individual

who can't afford the better education must beg, borrow, and jump through government hoops to qualify for even mediocre schooling. The elite will make certain their own kind will obtain higher learning, no matter the lack of effort displayed by their students.

Inadequate Shelter – For the proletariat, this is pretty much anything from having to live in a

van down by the river, to staying with the in-laws. The elite couple... well, why would they need a chateau with 27 rooms and a summer home in Florida?

Injustice System – One has to look no farther than to the beating of Rodney King by police or

to the high rate of wrongful convictions, to realize that, if Mr. King was an affluent elitist the police would have protected him. Also, how many elitists have been wrongfully convicted?

Official Access – The alienated masses are only important to officials during election time,

whereas through either social or capital connections, the elite may have an official audience at any time.

Unemployment – The current unemployment rate of ten percent is one indicator showing how

the Joe the Plumbers of the world depend on elitist capital. The affluent (?), not so much, because they are affluent and don't have to work anyway.

Sustenance – Elitists have access to all the organic food they could want, water purifiers, and

can even pipe in pure oxygen into their homes. The rest of us can buy a Brita.

No Profit Sharing - The countries which utilize a debt currency, manage to divide their

National Debt(s) among all their citizens equally. However the profit is held by the elitists, shouldn't they be responsible for the payment of a greater amount of National Debt? Why is it that the debt is equal but the profit or other benefits are not?
