self -serving systems

Most systems that are created to beneficent, end up being self-serving, because the creators started out with good intentions to be beneficial, but end up having the drive to make for money for them, than the charity itself. In some charities the administration and high powered employees make a huge amount of money. In some cases if someone donated 100 dollars, maybe half or 75% would go towards the employees, instead of the charity which it was intended to go toward. I think that systems are like that, because they feel good because they think that they are helping the cause and helping themselves in the process. Except they end up helping themselves more than what truly needs the help and full support. They think about helping themselves, but don’t feel all that bad for it, because they are still helping the cause, but only a little.
Example; Here is a high school student starting to apply to college. She starts a reading club for seniors at a nursing home. What do you think she really created the club for? Was she doing it to help the old people or was she starting it to look good on her college application? She might have started it to help seniors, but most highs choolers would do that to be self-serving so it would look good on their college application. A lot of people tend to be this way now a days.
Example; This whole blog ties back into greed of America, only serving themselves, and not fully keeping their promise to help Africa. They started out with good intentions to help, but ended up being self-serving and caring only about themselves.

Systems become cycles built on manipulation, self-interest, and ignorance. Most systems usually reflect the point of view of the creator, benefiting their own interest, without mutual benefits to others within the system itself. Systems are created to organize and cause the participants to assimilate and conform to it. These systems consequently give power to those who organize it, causing corruption. People on the top are seen to be essential, while those participants on the bottom are seen unnecessary. However, in order for a system to work, they are often interdependent. The organizers are dependent on the participants to be compliant while the participants are dependent on the organizer in order to act accordingly for the system. Because participants are seen to be more dependent on the top, this causes the organizers to abuse and become unethical with the way they run the system.
