Higher or lower!

   In a materialistic world, people became only sculptures, likeness that hasn't any respiration. And those status symbols differ us to high and low, like a merchandise. It's true that status symbols have been existed for many thousand years but really their based on principles had been changed in the 21st century. Before, in the Arab world, having a large collection of books was considered a status symbol and also pearls and jade were also major status symbols. But now, having money or wealth and things that can be bought by wealth, such as cars, houses, or fine clothing, are considered status symbols, I mean that what is considered as a status symbols nowadays is only thing related to money and wealth. Status symbols are different from a culture to an other, for example, in my country -Morocco- large house in the seaside, a Mercedes-Benz luxury sedan and a trophy wife are considered the main status symbols or also as an example the usage of cellphones in Istanbul is considered as a status symbols.

So really those status symbols change from a culture to an other, from a country to an other but they have only one common characteristic is that they are all related to money and wealth, and this keep us very far from each others, because everyone is trying to show off what he has.
