Really enjoyed the video. It was very thought-provoking and underlined pretty much how society works.
In particular (and perhaps some people may have picked up on this), the male who won the game went about his task quietly, allowing the others to argue.
I don't know if it was a coincidence (or perhaps a measure of social worth) but he seemed to have the most cards to play. I'm assuming that each card is an opportunity to progress up the ladder in which case, he seemed to be in a pretty "privileged" position.
We often hear how everyone in society has equal opportunities but this isn't generally the case. Social status/equality does not reset with each new generation and even though we may have similar opportunities, it is far easier to stay nearer the top than actually move up the stairs.
One point where I found there to be a slight disagreement is with the dealer. I felt he was painted as some kind of arbitrator, enforcing or explaining the rules of the game, and making sure that the game is played in a fair manner. But this is generally false. The people at the very top are the ones to set the rules.
I also think it did a good job of exposing one major flaw of capitalism vis-a-vis opportunities. Capitalism works where everyone in society is equal, so there is true competition, an opportunity for all. But we are humans and we have a history, we have ingrained prejudices and we have our own sense of what is right and wrong. Combine that within a competitive format and everything becomes lopsided which is the reason why some people play the gender card, the race card or any other "social equality" card.
Perhaps if we made an effort to be more equal socially, there wouldn't be a need to play "social equality" cards? Perhaps if we were all socially equal, everyone would have the same opportunities, more of less? Perhaps if we all had the same opportunities, then it would truly be a competition?
Because right now, the game is stacked in favour of a certain type of person, and this person will win every single time.
