Society


What kind of world do we live in? If you really think about it, things are changing and we don't even know it. In the society we live in today, to be wrong is right. In today's society, wrong is normal. People who make an attempt to try to change the way we live or make a difference in our society are considered outcasts. No one ever really realizes how bad things are until they stop and truly look around. Things are worse than ever and people just go on with their daily lives, burying their heads in the ground acting like everything will get better. People need to wake up to the truth: that things aren't just going to get magically better.  People need to face the reality of the world we live in.  Every single one of us is to blame for putting our country in the horrid position that it is currently in.  We knew we couldn't afford the $50,000 car or $600,000 home when we bought them, but being the irresponsible society we are, we went ahead and bought them anyway.  Today everything is catching up with people.  The oh so perfect society we thought we lived in has been exposed for the slums it really is.  The house of cards we built has fallen.  We can't hide from the ugly reality that stares us in the face any longer.  We must fix it.  Take a look in the mirror.  Who are you?

Wow...


Its really amazing to think how far technology has brought us. If you think about it, 10 years ago most of the technology, like cell phones or hybrid cars,  did not exist or wasn't utilized to it's full capabilities. Today people with a brand new ipod or blackberry can't help but be euphoric about the technology in their hands. In the 1920's, even the smallest radio in your house was still 3 times the size of a microwave oven today. Now, a radio can be smaller than a credit card. You never really realize how far we've come until we stop look back. In today's world however,  there's no looking back.
