Spectacle - Weekly Selfie

"The fact that the practical power of modern society has detached itself from that society and established an independent realm in the spectacle can be explained only by the additional fact that that powerful practice continued to lack cohesion and had remained in contradiction with itself." - Quote #22

With this picture I wanted to bring up the great disconnect between rich people and average people. People in power such as celebrities and politicians are what came to mind when reading the quote above. They've become so detached from the reality of the world around them due to their insane amount of wealth that grants them the privilege of doing whatever they want. Some go as far as to say that the middle class needs to work even harder to become successful like they are, when that isn't the case. Some billionaires are celebrities already came from wealth, so they already had a head start in the game to gain them more success. Others came from the ground up and have earned that money, but with money, comes losing yourself in the wealth. Of course this isn't the case for some celebrities as there are a few that use their wealth to help people, but those celebrities hardly get the spotlight. It's because of this detachment from our society that the views of rich people when it comes to average people is often never taken well.
