Quote From: iqis126 It isn't society in general that is to blame for certain people's need to garner attention at whatever cost to themselves or to others. It is the lack of social conscience, moral values, and good self-esteem for themselves that was never taught or imparted by example by their parents or other adult that was their role model. You can't blame society for all ills unless EVERY individual in that society performs and behaves as you do. A Lot of people do not behave as those individuals who are nothing more than shallow, pitiable, selfish children pretending that they are grownups. Society will improve when everyone realizes that good things don't just happen at the blink of an eye--you have to strive for those things, and allow that most things take time for fruition.
I couldn’t have said it better myself!
Although, I think people tend to assume “society” is a separate entity from ourselves, when, in fact, WE are society. Our actions or inactions contribute to everyone’s daily lives, however minute.
WHERE are the parents of these young adults? Are they forgetting to instil the fundamental basics of being a compassionate human being, or are these individuals teaching themselves that everything and anything has a price tag?
Evidently, the moral compass has gone awry in some individuals and those who are aching for their “fifteen minutes” haven’t honed any skill or talent to make themselves feel worthy of contributing to society. It appears they’re attempting to achieve some self worth, whatever the risks and/or consequences.
