I have an idea, but I am not much of an artist. I would greatly appreciate if an artist, or an artist coterie would make a series called "Earning Social Capital Series" and promote it. The objective is to alter the perspective of what Americans desire for the American females contributions to society. I want images of young females being janitors, bus drivers, and diner workers. It want this because it would probably be best overall for everyone if there is proper encouragement for females to contribute to what are generally viewed as undesirable jobs. Females in America enjoy the luxury of the American military having nuclear weapons. They do not have to prepare for a possible invasion. Nor do they compose much of the front-line in military. Here are some numbers you may be interested in:

"In 2002, 93.2% of prisoners were male" (Wikipedia: Prisons in the United States. 26 March)

"Within the Western world, nearly 90% of all murders are committed by males, with males also being the victims of 74.6% of murders (according the US Department of Justice)." (Wikipedia: Murder. 26 March)

Suicide per 100,000: Male: 17.9 Female: 4.2 from 2002 statistics (Wikipedia: List of countries by suicide rate)

Conclusion: Males are far more stressed than females currently in the U.S. Females probably ought to be encouraged to work less desirable jobs at a younger age. I think that many females (and males) will eat at a casual diner but not work there because they think too much of themselves. Many may think that the workers had to consume a lot drugs and do something greatly irresponsible. But the owners of the companies need people to work there.

One image: I want an image of a young female or females being janitors. Perhaps environmentally friendly cleaning agents could be in the image as well. I want that we be able to view this avant-garde work and say things like "Look at the detail in the mop. The artist used at least three shades of gray," and "I wish that we had a bus driver that was that attractive when we were in high school."

Beauty: Females will be more beautiful in character if they are contributing sufficiently to society. American women surely are not as tough as women in countries that don't have nuclear weapons or an alliance with countries that do. I think that we generally treat females here too well nowadays. Yes there are luxurious homes already, people will still earn a lot of money. But I prefer that the people earn luxury by working the more undesirable jobs.

Ancient Greece: After the Battle against the Sacred Band of Thebes in modern day Greece female beauty began to be promoted. Females did work some difficult jobs in ancient Greece, but with female beauty being promoted in work such as statues, I think it definite that the general desire became to preserve female's aesthetic beauty. Easier jobs would have ensued.

Imagery: Maybe an American flag could be in the background, again, promoting environmentally friendly cleaning agents would be nice, and multiple ethnicities should be represented with emphasis on equal contribution (if females are 75% white in America then 3/4 white females should be represented).

Economy: It would probably be great for the economy.

  • Style: I prefer realism, with some pictures that can be categorized as idealism. Regarding idealism there can be some real examples of young female janitors posing with an American flag in the background, so I would like an image of it.

    Colors: plenty of shades of gray, and some sea foam green, forest green, and light blue.

    Maybe: maybe we can have more females that will cook mutton with no sauce, just salt and pepper, with a side of carrots and vegetables. And a sweet bread for dessert.
