Paintings about living in the world today

Social structure changes and hierarchies vs the somewhat unchanging realities of life. 

For example, the evolving connection between survival and socially appeasing the people around you... an abstract construction that dictates your real life conditions.
Meaning, if you keep offending people, quit jobs whenever you're angry, etc and you could end up homeless and miserable.
People think this is justice... but that is not a proven fact.
The difference between this situation and directly hunting up your food or growing it, is a somewhat interesting concept. 

Overall this is a pretty vague and open-ended idea. Could be any meditations about social structures and how they have changed over time. But perhaps, the idea would be about how it seems like we're all feeling kind of stressed by trying to keep up with expectations of society.
