The last image (Gold distributed to all) Representing a Matriarchal Society - Everyone wins.
Matriarchy is a non- hierarchical, gender egalitarian society, organized around maternal values. All decisions are based on what is best for the children and the future of the planet. It is organized in more of a circle (collaborative) vs pyramid (patriarchal society).
