Our changing Society

When you walk around a busy city like New York, you look around and you see
how much our society has changed. You see huge skyscrapers; people walking
around listening to music; people driving in noisy cars; people using the latest
technology such as the newest phones, AirPods, people paying with credit
cards, etc. You also notice people are not talking to one another, instead they're
on their phones talking to bosses, friends, family. You realize some of those
people in those noisy cars are angry and honking at the person in front of them.
The way our society's worked together to build up all these new technologies to
help us with our everyday life is incredible, but the way our society has
developed communication wise to talking with the people around us is only
worsening.

When you go back fifty years ago in New York City, there was no wireless
phone meaning people would communicate with one another when walking the
streets; Rather than in today's world, people are walking the streets on their
phone playing a game or communicating with the phone ignoring others around
them. fifty years ago people went out to meet people rather than use an online
dating app. This isn't just in New York, this is what's happening all around the
US. 50 years ago people at a young age went out to try to find jobs to get a
head start for their future; Today kids rather play video games than work at all.

You look at how our society is now, and you notice how a lot of people lack
communication skills. Imagine what the newest future generation will be like. 50
years ago people went out to talk to one another; Today most of us use our
phones to communicate with each other; our society communication wise, what
will it be like 50 years from now? Will our next generation be able to go out to
talk to each other? Our Society is changing rapidly, but it's not all bad.

Today these newer technologies do help us communicate with people from long
distances. Not all people lack communication skills, and because of these
newer technologies, people around America can even work in their homes. fifty
years ago we weren't able to talk to people from long distances without using a
land phone. Today, we are able to walk around practically anywhere and people
are able to communicate with each other with the newest phones. fifty years
ago people would have thought it funny if you told them you're playing games
with a phone. Today, we are able to do that. Even if you lack your verbal
communication skills head on, many people are able to play video games while
talking to each other. People often create their own language in a way while
playing video games, fifty years ago if you talked to someone like that, they
wouldn't understand it. With today's technology, we are able to travel many
miles without stopping. Today we have planes, trains, cars, etc. Today people
are able to work at home on their laptops, 50 years ago the laptop had yet to be
invented.

Bullying was huge fifty years ago, but today there's such a thing as cyber
bullying. Kids and even adults are being bullied today with our latest
technologies. Being judged by your color was known more than fifty years ago
but it's still bad today; Our society is changing always, but there is something
that just hasn't changed. Today we are still dealing with race wars. Today,
human trafficking or modern day slavery is at its highest. our murder rate is also
higher than what it was fifty years ago.

If we want our society to improve, we have to work together to get that done;
People also have to be willing to let our society improve. It's up to the people
really, there's no one-hundred percent solution to this, nor is there (no solution).
Our Society is changing everyday, good and bad; My question is, "what is our
society going to look like 50 years from now?
