Society : The Awareness Of Willingness In Society

Mahatma Gandhi, the civil rights leader, once said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Ever since the 1900’s, people and the world’s problems have increased since. We’ve gone from wars to assassinations, natural disasters to racism, and from more wars to even more racism. And that’s just in America. Even now, problems still exist, and continue to increase throughout the years. Many people are trying to stop some issues, however not enough people care. Due to worrying about their own safety and social status, rather than helping others that are in the midst of danger and even death. There are many changes needed in this world, but I have two matters I’d like to specifically address.

Living in a wetico infested culture and being brought up in our day in age is sickening because we teach our young from a young age that you must have money and power and be rich in the future in order to be successful in life, which is not true. In my opinion in order to be successful you must do what you love one life and be happy and live life to the fullest. Our own wars and personal suffering comes from our own wants instead of our needs and this is grown and festered within us from the time were born for wanting more and more and more and beeing greedy once people understand and know this it will be a relief and a blessing for them for they will live a better life. The next problem that people must know about is that in our human nature competition is not natural and in reality we are programmed to love one and other. Since our birth we are told that we must be the best the alpha the leader of the pack but all this is a lie because it will not give you true bliss and happiness. The mirror neurone in other animals is now found within us as when we are around people who are happy and loving it will make us happy and loving as well that is true human nature, that also goes for the opposite when you are around angry people you become stupid and blind. In the end people need to truly see and learn about these things so we can make the world clear and better and help them live better

As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change toward him… We need not to see what others do.” (Mahtma Ghandi) A quote that I found online from the New York Times, which states that it is up to the individual to make a difference in our own world view. So it is up to us to help save what our ancestors and elders have protected since the time of

In society today there are many ways you can be involved within your community or out of it. This could be with political issues, events, protest, and more. When something affects you personally or something you believe in you now have the opportunity to do something about it but do not take those opportunities for granted. Simple actions can make huge changes and speaking out on injustice can only benefit you and what you're fighting for.

Citizens of America have not only turned a blind eye towards uprising problems in society and amongst communties, but towards greed as well. Selfish greed and the unwillingness to address issues are reasons why people have become accustomed to ignore societal and community concerns. Unfortunately, Americans are now ignoring one of the reasons which brings them to their downfall and suffering in the first place which is bad greed. The novel, Friendswood, by Rene Steinke has a recurring theme of ignorance of community and societal problems. In many situations, individuals in Friendswood are unable to confront issues as they lack moral responsibility to take an action. The individuals’ reluctance to find solutions or

In today’s society the government has most of the control on what we say and what we do. Some will argue and say that this is wrong and we get the say but they don’t realize the different things the government is taking away. Our society is getting more like the book “Brave New World” where the government has the most power. The government will do anything to get a little bit of money in their hands.

In today’s world, people deal with the constant struggle of finding whose needs are more important. Individuals, and individualism itself, claim to have their life be there’s, and they can do whatever they please, however, when people put society’s needs before theirs, they are doing their good for society, and everyone around them. Society’s goal is to move the human population forward in a positive direction, and to help everyone instead of just one person. In today’s world, individuals must look at society, and social needs to fulfill their own needs, giving the needs of society more of an importance to all.

The problem that exists is that human beings naturally are focused on becoming number one and being at the top. The world encourages us to seek fabricated accomplishments, power, success, and prosperity. The more of these things we gain the more we want. It is part of our human nature, but we will never find true fulfillment when we seek these things. The real disease comes when we look inside of each and every one of us. We have strayed away from our basic building blocks set by the Bible. A major problem of our society is the inability to put others in front of ourselves. Selflessness is defined as showing great concern for others without any motivation to do so. That means we would gain no tangible rewards for doing for others, but instead we would gain satisfaction from others’ gratitude. If everyone chose to care, love, share, and do for others, then we would be able to focus on more serious problems like poverty, adoption, unemployment, or national

With the looming threat of global warming, overpopulation, and world war III we do not often find ourselves in a position to change the world around us. But what do we do when the situation presents itself? What is our response to injustice? Sometimes nothing. In first world countries it is easy to discuss an issue without taking action because people often feel too minimal to make an impact. However, history shows some of the largest social and political movements were sparked by the actions of a single individual with the audacity to stand up. The truth is power in the hands of an individual has the magnitude to create equal amounts of good as it does bad, but the power for change does not only lie in the hands of powerful, it can be found in the hearts of any individual, no matter their status or origin.

Considering this, many people brush away the thought of pushing for a better cause because giving into “society’s standards” is a lot easier. As stated by Nancy Bunge in her literary criticism Isolation and Community, ”Those willing to resist society’s self- righteousness..trouble making themselves understood....will support those who ask no questions”( Bunge 12). The community accepts anyone who asks no questions and feels nothing as they are part of something that has more authority than anything socially. On the other hand, if you resist society’s grasp on your thoughts, you will face problems as they do not want to have anybody oppose

“Humans of New York” made me realize through stories of struggle and triumph that we are all connected in this game we call life. So respect and help each other out. It seems to be a simple idea, but as I read through the news from the recent debate, or browse the comment section of the latest YouTube sensation, I see words of anguish, bigotry and hatred. We are not against each other in a democracy and our opinions should certainly not be suppressed. Our country as it stands today seems to be one of partisan beliefs with no real compromise or understanding, and I believe that very attitude has been increasingly relevant in our news and in our social lives causing a great disarray of problems. Problems of which may all be solved by standing back and looking at the bigger picture. This issue is important to me because until humanity learns once again to stand united and not divided I fear we will never reach goals that need to be achieved. It is as simple as this; we’re all human. We all have goals and we all have

Humans care about the well-being of the world and the people in it, but that does not mean that they can be bothered to make the world better. In 1964 a young woman’s life was less important than the call of indifference. Her name was Catherine “Kitty” Genovese and she was ultimately murdered because her thirty-eight neighbors could not be bothered to lift a finger to save her life. If this were the case in today’s society, the thirty-eight witnesses would have more than likely put on trial for accessory to murder because current laws make it illegal to be so indifferent to such a gruesome and heinous crime. If everyone was this indifferent to all crime, there would be nonstop theft and murder, the society and economy would quickly fall apart and there would be total chaos.

Confronting an injustice in this world requires every individual to take responsibility for his actions. If an individual is aware of their fight and devotes himself to it, he must work to cause whatever small change he can. However, there is strength in numbers, and nobody should attempt to fight a larger fight on their own, lest they become discouraged at their failures.

The government has taken full control of society and its citizens. You are watched every waking moment, your facial expressions, the words you speak, all being scrutinized and examined for any unusual behavior. There's no one you can trust; your parents, your children, your neighbors and co-workers all serve under the government's code of conduct, and wouldn't hesitate to turn you into the police if you're acting odd. If you are caught, the police will simple

Everybody at some point in their life has wanted to make a change, hopefully for the better. For most, it can take some serious self discipline to actually put these changes into full force. Here’s a proposition: take the time out of the day to sit down and actually think about the outcomes of the problem, and then decide if it’s worth going through the motions to make that change. Because everyone on this earth has a given amount of time everyday, no one can use the excuse that they don’t have the time of day; that’s bullshit. Yes, some may have a busy schedule but you have breaks throughout the day. May it be the required break they get from work, the commute from school to home, or when they’re alone with their thoughts at night;
