Talk about Dramatism

I was at a park near my place not too long ago, taking a short stroll to get away from the hustle and bustle of my life, and at the same time, do a bit of self-reflection, and sorting of thoughts.
All was peaceful, until I heard a nasty shout from not too far away, and there! A chinese foreman was lambasting and hurling vulgarities at some Bangladeshi workers that work under him, I suppose. It was appalling! It so happened that it was drizzling at the same time, so the workers were apparently trying to hasten their work pace, so as to get some rest, and shelter.
Looking at that scene right before me, I was flabbergasted by the fact that the workers were treated so brutally, as if like animals! This whole dramatization was such a scene! And it made me see how the foreman was playing this bossy role as a leader just a bit too much.

It made me wonder, is this just how society works? Does the foreman have a story to tell? Do the workers deserve the treatment?

What I saw was just one perspective. I am certainly not in the position to judge, as I am in no vantage point in that scenario.
