But something needs to replace consumerism. Getting a promotion at work, purchasing a new car or buying into the latest fashion craze has become more important than helping out your neighbor or getting together with your community. Capitalism is driving this regression. Something needs to change in our society, and it needs to change soon. If children are acting like this today, just think of what it s going to be like when they have kids.
School can no longer be a war zone.
That is not the American dream, nor is it the way society shoud be. All I can do is leave you with this word of advice. Say hi to your neighbor and be nice to the guy who doesn t have any friends. Get involved in your community. You may save somebody s life.
