The characters in a pack of playing cards are well known. Hierarchies are deeply embedded in our collective psyche.
Children are taught to see the world through lenses that haven’t changed for much longer than anyone would care to remember.
The world needs infrastructure and order. How else can we feel safe in our awareness of terms of reference?
After a while however, the structures are scrutinised and found to be changeable.
Those who want to see changes have the right to make amendments to the social order when the playing cards are reshuffled.
