Reflections?


Close your eyes and clear your mind. Imagine you are in a state of perfect bliss, far from the busy world. Arcadia is a perfect place in the countryside where everyone lives in a harmony, and explores meanings. Hum, softly, your favourite country music and enjoy the passages here in this online column. ^_^!

Feel free to share with me your reflections on the passages.

Socioeconomic Status

Tuesday, November 04, 2003 - 05:38 HKT


香港是彈丸之地,加上公共交通便捷,想到那裡就能到那裡去,無論富與貧,都可以搭地鐵、搭公車,到哪裡都行,而且個多小時定能抵達,不像外國,沒有私家車就像跛了似的,基本生活都成問題,既使有車,也要駕駛不下半小時才有間像樣的超級市場。

除此以外,香港資訊發達,扭開電視、收音機,又或是接到互聯網,都可以便宜地接收到各式各樣的資訊,報紙也有每天近百萬份銷量,要知道這小都市另一角落發生的事,可能比起打聽隔壁家庭狀況來得更容易。

可是,又有誰會想到,在這如此 cohesive 和 dynamic 的小都市裡,為何不同地方的人,差別這麼大?

比如說,一生到過銅鑼灣不足五趟﹝甚至不懂如何前往、甚或不知在哪﹞;不知海洋公園就在對岸的山後邊,過隧道就到了;又或者,未曾聽說過 Starbucks、Ruby Tuesday,為了十元八塊而天天吃火腿蛋飯,說話的言詞、衣著、吃飯的禮儀,一言一行彷彿都在告訴著大家,自己是住在都市中的鄉巴佬,是石屎森林中的「大香梨」,沒有屬於這座城市的靈魂,而是每天進進出出的盲流而已。

為何都在同一山峰下的人,會如此不同的呢?

或部A這些差異就是割裂分化不同 socioeconomic status 的人的最大炸彈。
