“Human beings are themselves considered consumer goods to be used and then discarded. We have created a “disposable” culture which is now spreading. It is no longer simply about exploitation and oppression, but something new. Exclusion ultimately has to do with what it means to be a part of the society in which we live; those excluded are no longer society’s underside or its fringes or its disenfranchised – they are no longer even a part of it. The excluded are not the “exploited” but the outcast, the “leftovers”.” HumansMeanUsedCultureHuman BeingsOppressionConsumersSomething NewGoodsExploitationConsumerismFringeExclusionOutcastExcludedOverconsumptionDiscardedDisposableLeftoversDisenfranchised Author:Pope Francis
