I finished my English essay that I had as a homework. I thought that someone just might want to read it so I wrote it up.
Nobody cares
We are living in the golden age of capitalism. The economy is booming, new companies are founded and people are shopping like crazy. According to the western logic people should be happier than ever, but the statics are telling the opposite. Increasing number of people claim being unhappy. The future investigations revealed that most of the unhappy people were lonely, and they simply had no one who cared about them. A clear relevance was also discovered between high divorce rates and unhappiness.
The much debated question, “what causes modern people to become so cold hearted” is still somewhat unsolved. Some analytics say that it's the violence shown in the television, others say that it's the overpopulated environment. Whatever the reason is, the trend of selfishness doesn't seem to be changing in the near future. In a worse case scenario this could lead to a down spiral of society where loneliness, divorces and suicide attempts become a part of everyday life.
It is a well known fact that human beings are not meant to live alone. We are designed to care about our friends, relatives and family members. The caring is actually so strongly a part of humanity that it can be counted as a one of our most primitive instincts. Yet increasing number of people have started to deny and block their instincts of caring. A change in people's way of thinking is needed more than ever.
