how the world has changed..
The world has changed from 300 years ago because it has become more technologically advanced and dependent which has in turn created many inventions that change the way life is with the help of automobiles, Internet, and phones. The world has also become a more "i want it now" society, along with that mental attitude people's outlook towards life and decency has been wildly change because subjects like sex, drugs and alcohol have become more common subjects and aspects of life and the common courtisey, mannors, and proper etiquett have been lost. However some thing have changed for the better, like the abolishment of slavery which has lead to abolishment of racisim and also giving woman rights. The addition of immgration also has brought along many changes to the world because america became a melting pot because people came from all over the world and brought their cultures and customes especially during the gold rush in california where people rushed to come to try to find gold and make a living for their familys. More violence is assepted too beacause of video games and the changed view on life and whats right or wrong this confusion stems from the change of religious importance where america used to be known as the nation under God and now in todays society there is a lack of any religous values at all because off the melting pot bringing in so many different religions into one area politics think its better to altogether eliminate religion as to not upset any one religion.

i completley agree. :)
ReplyDeleteespecially with the "i want it now" society because everything in life now a days seems to be about how fast we get something, or how fast we want something to come, and "CAN'T WAIT" for stuff to get here, and we don't take the time to sit back and relax and enjoy life like we should and we don't necessarily take time for granted, we let if fly by w/o actually enjoying it. carpe diem ;)
