The students for a democratic society explain the changes took over the culture of America within the past few years. The government systems or organizations are manipulated and shows no interest towards people rather than “of, by, and for the people.” The threat of war, overpopulation and technology are testing the country’s commitment towards democracy and freedom. The fact is that each individual shows interest in his/her own progress and does not show any interest towards its own fellow people. The institutions and government organizations show a lot of interest towards their profit, but least interest towards the growth of the nation as a whole.

Over the past several centuries the world has changed in a countless number of ways. From colonialism to slavery, the industrial revolution to the World Wars, and the modern day technological boom, America in particular has often been right in the middle of all of the transformations. Amongst these changes certain movements also began to rise up especially in the arts, sciences, and politics. One such movement, romanticism, emphasized emotions, abstract thought, and individual self. On the other hand, an opposite movement known as neoclassicism, or sometimes just classicism, emphasized a more old school approach to life. For example, things like reason and rationality, etiquette, and science were mainly focused on. Moving into today modern

Technology has a huge influence on the American culture and American society. Over the past couple years technology has made a big impact on everyone's lives, whether they realize it or not. Anywhere you go or anything you do you will come in contact with technology. The Doctors office, The Dentists office, The Grocery store, your workplace, School, Restaurants would all be a completely different place without technology. I think the piece of technology that has the biggest impact on everyone's lives would probably be a computer or a laptop. In my life a laptop has played a big role in my life these past couple of years in school and during my education.

I agree with you about the change in the culture. I think that many people left agriculture and moved into urban areas because of the lack of work on the farm. This was blamed on the falling off of agriculture products being sent to Europe after the war. The people moved into the urban areas and the American industrial economy was booming and the people had money like they never had in the past. So the culture of these people changed and they became buyers of the new products that were invented. Because they had money to spend, their lives
The social changes the society has now were reached not in a short-term period. It was a long process of struggles and protests against the social, moral and legal norms, which were perceptible for the community. Talking about the inequality, the discussion about it is still continuing because there is a considerable number of the improper attitudes towards the different representatives of the minorities.
