Inequality from its occupational root

Abstract

In order to analyze the current situation regarding social inequalities in many countries and specifically Chile, we must analyze different sociocultural structures in this Paradigm (Foucault, 2001). Such as the social structure, education, food, health and all these fundamental elements subject to a Neoliberal Economic Model. This essay proposes the effects that this economic system has generated at a psychosocial, cultural and physiological level, since it is understood that the dominant economic system of a country generates behavioral changes, these in turn produce neurophysiological alterations that impact on brain structures, inhibiting or exacerbating appreciation for certain activities, which also has an impact on physical health. Given that occupations under this model generate a self-demand that goes outside the natural margins, reaching psychological and physical stress, forcing physical structures, generating mechanical changes and reaching deformities, adding to the psychological impact. This plus the loss of prestige for not carrying out high-status activities with ease because they do not access tools that facilitate these processes, produce discrimination and consequently depression. The well-known diseases of modernity, this adds to a vicious circle in public education. The socioeconomic characteristics of the country will be associated with the impact on education plus its sociocultural implications and how to address these problems from an Occupational Education.
