    The Poor Mindset _ Thesis Project 2014Help! 
Save our mindsets and behaviour.
Poverty has become a spectacle for us. It has been glamourized and commercialised by advertisement and reduced to likes and tweets. Social issues have become a commodity. Issues remain on the surface and we in turn are becoming more and more apathetic.
 The project questions the concept of ‘charity’ and ‘poverty’ as we generally understand them in our cultural context. The project focuses on study of To what lengths have we gone to objectify them? What needs to be identified first is our own manipulated emotions and fake behaviour, its time to help ourselves from our perceptions of the oppressed and our behaviour towards them in order to really tackle concrete issues in the future.
