Living in a somewhat rich African city, I see these traumas everyday. Mainly in the way people behave. The population is constantly comparing their daily lives with those seen on TV and Social Media, although we can relate, in a way, there are many aspects missing like complete freedom, security and simply richness. This manifests in the way we behave, the way we think... many are lost. The way we deal with it is pretty horrific. We constantly criticize and judge each other for doing things we are doing too or that we wish we did, to belong. Belong to something we can't quite grasp. Many insecurities and hypocrisy are created from this psychological trauma that you speak of eloquently.
