We also talked about the ongoing trend among capitalists now… the idea of “micro cities”. I have somehow but not quite discussed this on my previous entry. In my previous week’s entry, I compared a mall into a city. But this “micro city” thing-y is a bit similar to my discussion last week.

Anyway, this micro city that we discussed involves the separation of the well off people from those who are less fortunate ones. Okay, so the idea is like this. The capitalists or so they say create a “micro city” by putting the essential things that a normal city has like school, malls, market place, church, buildings (offices) and residential areas into a secluded place that only affluent people can afford. This idea was borne to cater the affluent people, in this case, they do not have to go out of their “haven” and see/experience the rowdy situation of the “reality” in our country.

Honestly, I would like to live in a place such as that. I mean, who wouldn’t? You would not experience the heavy traffic and the crowded are that surrounds you whenever you are in Manila. You wouldn’t have to go to another place to buy the necessities that you need, all you have to do is to walk a few blocks from your home and voila! You can instantly get whatever it is that you need! But then, the downside on this is that you’ll be too insensitive to the need of the other people. You will be too enclosed to your own “fantasy world” to the point that you would not care about things that is going on around you. Etc.

Living in that kind of place might be very ideal. I think, when the time comes wherein I have to go on my own, I’ll choose a place where everything is accessible. But, I would still be in-touch with reality and work somewhere where I’ll be able to meet the “everyday-Filipinos” in our country. =)
