Lazziness In The American Socirtey

Relax, close your eyes and imagine living in world without ipods, cellular phones, and yes blackberries. Also think about not having your American eagle and Hollister to purchase your clothes from. If I could change one thing about the American society this would be it hands down. I believe that we as Americans have become way too materialized and way need to go back to living the good old simple life. Things would be so much easier if we did this and it would also allow us to actually know our true inner self. Not the techno crazed, style obsessed people that we have be come in the last twenty-five to thirty years .I strongly believe that if we went back to living the simple life crime rates would drop drastically, people would not be in debt, and a lot of disorders such as bulimia would slowly fade away. For instance people commit most thefts because they are either unable to afford things or they need to repay a debt. Also some teens and even adults develop eating disorders because they want to look a certain way or fit in a size two at Hollister so that they are able to look like everyone else. This is happening because the American society is painting an inaccurate picture about how we as a people should look, live, and feel .This leads me into my first point.

I think that is we did not have all of this technology we have now is allowing our American youth to go dumb and turn into trigger happy thieves .The crime rates would be much lower if little Johnny did not have to have that new X-box Three sixty. So since, his parents could not pay for it he decides goes out and rob a bank.

In hopes that with his stolen money he would be able to pay for it. We are also turning our children into lackadaisical cell phone using, spark note reading idiots

Simply because we are unable to teach and help them with their homework. So who might be helping them well you have Dora the explore for our children ranging from the ages of two through six. Then for our children in between you have your Degrassi and Author. Last but not least Spark notes and Barron’s have be come our teenagers best friends . All of these things have enabled our children to reach their full learning potential as past generations have previously done before.

Equally important my generation has become way to materialized .We care more about the songs we can download on our i pods than what topic we can talk about for our Senior English class research paper. We also care more about what new clothes that has come out at Hollister and American Eagle than what new scholarships that our school has posted for the month. This is all a result from the image that the American society has created over the past years .Sadly my generation has fallen for the trap that has been set. If only we could go back to living life more simple things would be a lot more different. For instance instead of downloading music on to their iPods kids would be downloading the latest novel
