Blog Post 3; Society, Why can’t you solve your own problems?

                While many people have pin-point problems that society faces, I believe societies biggest problem is society itself.  Nothing ever goes right in society.  Society persuades you to wear nice clothing, buy nice things, have nice cars, and just to be materialistic.  Instead of worrying about how we are on the inside, we are worried about our outside attraction and how people judge us.  Society, itself, is a huge problem.

                If we did not care so much about what people said about us or thought about us, life would be a lot easier.  Society finds a way to get in our life and change us to what it wants us to be.  If we kept to our own selves, we would not be worried about how people looked at us, much less society.  Whether you realize it or not, we are all pulled into society.  Most of us do things to make us look good or just because everyone else is doing it.

                For example, you see someone poor on the side of the road.  You are by yourself and you can’t seem to take your eyes off them.  You feel bad and honestly have that guilty feeling in your tummy.  You decide to give them a few dollars.  A few days later, you and your buddy are riding down the road and you see that same person.  He starts to laugh.  You don’t want your friend to make fun of you, so you start laughing with him and drive right by that same person that you had just felt bad for a few days before.  This example goes to show that we do things unintentionally or just to be accepted by others.

                Don’t make the same mistakes other people are making.  Be an advocate and be yourself.
