Upper class people are more likely to behave selfishly

I have  just read an article in “ The Guardian”  where scientists claim that rich people are  more selfish and mean than poor ones. It was mentioned that privileged people behave consistently worse than others , with a greater tendency to lie, cheat, take things meant for others, cut up other road users, not stop for pedestrians on crossings, and endorse unethical behavior. However, I believe that it is truth in the most of the cases. Of course it depends on a certain personality. Although, upper class people usually think that no one can stop them from doing what they want. They believe that money can buy everything. These people feel more confident because they know that their lawyers will get them out of any trouble without any consequences. What is more privileged people are terribly greedy, the more they have the more they want.To conclude, it would be not very smart to stick the labels to all rich people because there are a lot of different people in the world, but just lets face it, these propositions have  some sort of true.

Why do people emigrate from Lithuania?

It is not a secret that economical situation in Lithuania is very poor. A significant number of people emigrate each year.  Exact number is unknown, but one thing is very clear, the “brain drain” and emigration is a growing issue in Lithuania. There are few reasons for that. People emigrate because of better work opportunities. They wish to broaden their horizons. What is more we have a lack of love for our country.

To start with, the main motive of emigration in Lithuania is the desire to make more money. Usually here we do not have many opportunities to climb the career ladder. People, especially young, do not see any perspectives to earn money in our country. After finishing university they cannot find a good well- paid job. However, people are forced to leave Lithuania if they want to provide themselves and their families with more comfortable life’s. Lithuanians better prefer working in the factory in Ireland than being a teacher in Lithuania. The reason for that is very simple- extremely small income.

Second reason of emigration in Lithuania is willingness to taste life in another space. Almost every Lithuanian dreams to explore other country. They are curious about different cultures and traditions. What is more they look forward to make new friends. All these things became very easy to turn into reality because now we belong to the EU. Partially, it is EU’s fault that we can easily emigrate. There is no borders and people can go wherever they want.

And the last but not least thing worth mentioning is that we can clearly say that after going abroad Lithuanians settle there and do not return. As a result they forget their homeland. The reason for that is a lack of family values. A big number of Lithuanians do not care about their homeland and family. They are interested in how to make their life’s more comfortable and rich. Is that wrong? Every person has a right to be happy. If he cannot be successful in his own country he will try to do that somewhere else. We can blame our government for that. It cannot provide its people with better opportunities.

To sum up all, despite all those disadvantages which emigration provides us there is one very big advantage. It makes our people happy. They are glad that they can travel freely, live and work where they want.  If our government wants to reduce emigration they should use their brain to improve economical situation in our country. Not just sit, complain about everything and raise fees. People are disappointed of Lithuania and they have no other choice except emigration.
