A heartfelt demographics: a new look at the feelings of the people

Abstract

Overview populated places merge and move with the logic of survival, they are formed primary social structures that add-on of feelings and experiences, folded pages of history and acquire identity and a way of seeing the world and its natural environment. These values-laden populations resist in contexts of poverty and social inequality, and today are immersed in a new vortex that moves them towards latitudes more hostile and indifferent. A new look that transcends the social demographics and that is setting a new human face.

Perhaps the fundamental dilemma of today’s world, the indifference that is weighing on the human being and his anguish, against the loss of values and feelings of cultural belonging; facing a market that imposes labor logics and consumption that are moving populations by routes uncertain, in search of better living conditions. For this reason the demographics cannot be limited only to have events or populations but also to give an interpretation of population dynamics that have their own nature and development in this historic evolution, where people feel this captured a dehumanized globalization.
