Wealth of Morocco

 There is a clear distinction of social class in Moroccan culture. We have been privileged to experience the foods, water, goods, and expirenciences of the wealthier Moroccan class but have definitely experienced and witnessed lower class groups. Hamid and the friends of his we have met have been of the higher class. He was able to show us one of their homes with a grand dinner and live music in the medina. We also met a noble woman named Zineb who was a wealthy Moroccan. She experienced an extremely grand wedding that was quite costly and the average person could not afford. The poorer or non-noble Moroccans save all of their fortune for weddings or even have mass weddings. Traditional weddings were a week long but the less privileged could not afford it so now it is traditionally 4 days long now. The poorer class are the blue colored workers we call in America. They are the hands on labor and can be paid fairly low depending on the specialization of their labor. A man who works in the field may only get 100 durham a day. There is a clear distinction between the upper and lower class however there does not seem to be a negative connotation to the lower class. There are actually attempts to hide wealth rather than flaunt it. The outside of buildings are all almost the same but the inside is what distinguishes wealth. Inside a wealthy man’s house is covered in tile, golden lights, ornate cutlery, carved woods, and silks. The poor man’s house is made of the earth around him that has no cost other than his own labor. When leading through the differences of wealth different strategies are taken when hit with paradox. There is a paradoxical mindset which I believe can be more associated with the wealthy and improvisational which I associate with the poor. I created this association because of the amount of time each group would have. The rich can burn some resources to take the time to think over and hold while the poor must act quickly to keep up.
