Welcome to the 'developing' world

The picture above was taken in one of Manila’s numerous shopping malls and is showing a photo album. This photo album is not meant to be used by the child’s parents but by the caregiver. The picture is showing the potential buyer that this product is so simple that even a 'helper' can use it.

This photo tells us so much about society. It tells us how the upper class is looking down onto helpers. It also implies that parents do not have to see it as their roles to document how their kids are growing up and learning. Too bad for the kids…
