The Loss Of Value In Actuality

The loss of values in actuality
Nowadays our society has experienced a loss of values, and we can specially notice this when we take a closer look on today’s teenagers.
This has been a longprocess that starts mainly with globalization and media exposure, such as internet, TV, magazines, etc.
When T.V. first became popular, the shows were innocent and family-friendly; the most popular thingsto watch were the news, musicals and some comedies.
Soup operas followed, and with them a new way of portraying “real life”, where everything was drama and intensity. People started thinking thatmaybe for some people, this actually was a way of living, and some of them began to hope for such lifestyles, the things that the people watched were so intense and so not true, but they didn’t know itand they wanted the things that they watched; they started thinking that compromise was wrong and that you could have all the things that you wanted easy and without compromises, also people startedthinking a lot on money and on getting more and more.
This started with the materialism mentality that most people have adopted ever since, and it is increasing by the hour, with all the campaignsthat want to sell more and more and that depict the perfect life as one that has every material thing anyone could desire, people are actually guiding themselves by how much they earn and how much theyspend, instead of thinking about what they really want or who they want to share their lives and everything they have with.
Before, what people expected out of life usually included a family, or atleast a partner to spend their lives with. Now, most people are too afraid to commit or to make a decision that is actually going to affect the rest of their lives.
We want things easy and we wantthem at the moment we think of them, we are getting less used to working for what we want, forgetting that the things that are harder to get, are the things most worth working for.
It would be nice...
