Recently, I made a small research with a friend about which way the general class of society is turning to. What means general class? The greater society, or the group of societies that represents the majority of planet. You, me, the other guy that is on the internet, or the guy that is on his job right now, is part of this wider society.
The thing is, that we, the people who compose this class, have been adopting ideas and habits that will prove bad for the long-term course the society. What might be those things? We may not see them, because we adapt to it slowly and we don't recognize the side effects. Anti-social behaviors and habits, replacement of Humans with other things(not what you think), equalizing the human value to other lesser valuable things, are some of the factors that are changing our lives slowly and degenerating the Society. What is worse? These behavours are adapted by us because we "like them" or "want them". It feels good with this, so we care no longer for anything else.
But let me give some examples of what I mean.
- How many times did you hear the phrase "Personal Space", and violation of it?
- How many times did you sit on a bus chair, and hoped for the guy that just boarded the bus, not to come and sit next to you?
- How many times you saw a known person on street and looked away just to avoid him/her?
- It is truth, nowdays people prefer the company of pets rather than the Human one. Many people we asked, said that they perfer to have a dog and go out every day for a stroll, rather than try and have a relationship with another Human. What is worse? When they felt that this was not enought, the just bought another pet. Most of them, they refer to their pet as their "child".
- Recently, in my region, a drunk man was causing trouble to a neighbourhood. The people called the police to pacify him. This man had a dog, and when the policemen tried to capture the owner, it bit badly three policemen sending them to the hospital. When the news were all over the internet and the facebook, the people in their comments supported the dog and worried if the dog got hurt. The more "hardcore" dog supporters/antiauthoritarians, suggested that the dog should have killed the policemen.
- Direct Racism. Although it directly affects the specific societies, it affects the general class too. The prejudices that spreads, plays significant role in the degeneration.
- Social Racism/Discrimination. This is the silent, and one of the most severe factors of the degeneration. This type of racism is very transparent and cannot be seen easily. This happens because it occurs localy within a society and none gives the proper attention.
Without doubt, such behaviour is not local here, but more or less, this is extended all over the world. Morality exists to protect the Human from the Human himself. However this seems to be forgoten or ignored on purpose. The majority of the people wrongly indentifies the morality as something religious or something that exists to decrease their freedom. This decline of the morality, has helped this degeneration develop.
The adaption of these is so much for some people that they no longer care if it is true or not. They wouldn't even try to think, as long as everything is fine.
I believe that the devaluation of the Human life and equalization to other non-human things, will not bring any good to the future.
I'm not trying to persuade you for something, or show you the truth. These are just my worries.
I believe there should be a balance on everything. For this, I dislike when people are extreme on their ideas. Usualy such people will try and persuade for something or claim they know the truth.
What you guys think of the possible Social Degeneration?
