What is this world coming to?

I feel that the majority of people today are in a spiral of horrific trances. This may be just me, but I feel that everywhere I look everyone are obsessed about their weight, their looks, their boyfriends. What about the more important things like getting along with eachother, leading a good life, etc.

How comes everyone on this website goes on about anorexia, obesity, ‘Am I Pretty’, ‘Am I Ugly?’.

And just take a look at the war that is happening all over the world. Most of us are oblivious to it all.

I know this whole question may seem incredibly naive however I feel like I’m being swallowed into this madness and no one is taking a look to realise what is going on. Ha.. ok now looking back at this question I feel like a complete idiot and maybe I just need to sit up and realise that this is what is becoming of today’s society.

Answer #1

I would think it is all of the celebrities that provokes these ‘horrific trances’. Celebrities are great, talented people, yet the media always makes them look perfect, and they are the ones on the cover of every magazine. They are the ones we look to for entertainment, yet on TV or in movies or on stage, they are always looking flawless, and usually this is not natural. Have you ever seen a photograph of a celebrity without makeup on??? They are no prettier than the girl next door, and they are the farthest thing from perfect. People look at those magazines, and say “wow, to get noticed, I should look like THAT!” That rubs off on everybody, and no one has time to focus on the people who should be getting noticed, like the starving children in this world or all the homeless people affected by the war!! Open your eyes everyone!! Perfection doesn’t exist, so stop trying to be perfect!!

Answer #2

I totally agree.. for most the part, but you know some people on this site may have really bad issues with their boyfriends.. or family. I’m not defending EVERYONE. because all the girls that are like 7 or 8 and they’re asking “what’s sex?” “what’s oral” yeah that’s just sad..

but for some you know they may really need help or advice. but like I said I agree. Nice job. :D

Answer #3

I blame the media. Maybe if it didn’t keep shoving vanity into our faces, more people would be able to focus more on what matter, versus what MTV wants us to think what matters.

Answer #4

Haha.. thanks.

And sorry guys I actually put this post in Politics.. I have no idea how it ended up in ‘Love and Relationships’. This keeps on happening to me!

Answer #5

It’s easy to look at what’s happening in the world today and get depressed. But to give you some perspective, things are better for us now than they were for our ancestorrs. There are actually fewer wars and conflicts in the world today than there used to be even just 15-20 years ago, despite the constant media reporting on conflicts like Darfur and Iraq.

As for the vanity you mention, I agree. People these days have the luxury of worrying about such things precisely because they don’t have more important things going on in their lives. They have the time to obsess. And unfortunately, our society values image a lot more than it values character.

Answer #6

Yes..of course! I just meant that I think that’s all everyone think about, well I did once upon a time =D Haha and a lot of people do ask those questions about their boyfriends and sex troubles..(even if they are like 7 or 8) I still help them though =D Like I always say I enjoy giving advice.. even if it’s pointless.
