2 The criteria for satisfaction and how educational institutions can fulfill them 2.2 Living standard A satisfaction of material needs is important to make people lenient. We often get jealous, impatient and unsatisfied when we see that the wealth of our neighbour is greater and his living standard higher. Even though many of us have a living standard that is much higher than that of most people in the world (we definitely meet our basic needs for food and shelter) and even though we know that our neighbour is far from being among the richest people in the world, we still find someone to blame our fate on. Often the government is criticized. But sometimes race differences or class differences are referred to and used as scapegoats. Jealousy and prejudice leads to anger and eventually wars or other demonstrations of hatred are at hand. It is therefore important to keep everybody's living standard as high as possible so that no one really has a reason to complain and even more important to keep the living standard about the same for everyone so that no jealousy can arise from class gaps. It is, however, important to reward people for the work they perform. I do not believe in a system where everyone gets the same salary regardless of the workload or responsibility. To combine those two there must be a way to distribute work as equally as possible. A first step is to give everyone the chance to take a high post, that is, to ensure that everyone is capable to achieve a degree that entitles you to almost any job. A problem seems to arise when looking at the number of jobs found in the different wage categories; even if anyone could be a vice manager, not everyone can practically be. So, in a second step, the public must be willing to 'share' their jobs, that is, everyone should hold a number of part-time jobs that sum up to a healthy average. This sounds like quite a radical change in society and I will explain this further in chapter xxx. 2.1 Health 2.3 Activity 2.4 Knowledge 2.5 Attitude
