value judgements

in the first world

important: when you're sitting in a bathtub of boiling water and considering whether you should wait 5 or 50 minutes for your skinny jeans to remould themselves around your legs before you get out

not quite as important: when you're standing in a shop 3 hours earlier, trying to decide whether you should buy skinny jeans or a jumpsuit

in the 3rd world

important: when you're sitting at the sewing machine trying to work out whether making 100 skinny jeans in a day stretches to a meal for Granny as well, or if only feeding the nuclear family is your current priority

not quite as important: 'dismiss immediately'
