Easy money is bad role model

[NewsWhore]

Cultural anthropologist Tahira Vargas says that easy money has grown to become a social model in the country, as reported in Hoy. She said that the values of hard work and sacrifice to achieve life's goals have been lost. She also criticized the permissiveness of Dominican society and said these new generalized attitudes have been fed by the impunity of government institutions and have spurred crime. "Increasingly there are those who get rich quick, whether by corruption, drug trafficking or politics, and who have become a social model," said Vargas, speaking to an audience of young people during a talk on "Drug Trafficking and Youth" at the Plaza Bolivar, as part of an event organized by the Instituto Dominicano de Apoyo a la Juventud, a youth support group.
