what is wrong with our society...?

Seems like no one likes change. But for things to get better change is the answer. We stubborn humans all want the easy and happy life. We would never change that. It's only when adversity hits do we have to think,plan,study,analyze and grow in so many ways along the journey.So with adversity comes DRAMA! What happened to EASY? How can we learn and grow doing nothing except enjoying the ride? We want easy. We need adversity, drama and the interaction that comes from the diversity of the people in this wonderful world. Change will be easier because we all have each other.We can always live the easy life later.

In my part of the univers... When I moved here to Italy it was so far behind UK where I had lived until then. Now it has caught up somewhat - but in the wrong ways sadly. Culture differences will remain in whatever progress happens. Here the population is told that there should be no racism and that all those arriving here from other countries should be made to feel at home. Fine, great way of thinking but where does the line be drawn? Should they be allowed to make parts of Italy become like their country ot should they try and blend into the country they are now calling their home? It is so difficult to get different cultures to blend together but even more so where older generations are not willing to accept what changes progress is making and even more so when they are possibly correct in thinking that progress is not all positive. Maybe Victorian morality was not so bad after all

Some people love change as long as it is something they can benefit from. One of the hardest changes for women has been trying to be accepted as equal humans. When I was growing up I thought the women's movement had broken all the hard ground and that I could compete equally on merit but I found it was not so. This is one area where some men and women still resist change. Unfortunately many of these people who resist are the ones in power in companies, in families and in politics. Even to some extent in education but less so. The same can be said of many other forms of change. Attempts to protect the environment are still struggling because the people who have the money and power do not want to change their ways even if it means destroying the world for everyone else. The only way to stop this is to elect politicians who are willing to force the powerful to change for the good of all. I am not at all sure it is possible since most politicians are part of the rich and powerful and they will not hurt their own. Well they might but it will be too late when the cities are drowned and the damage is irreversible.

Hi Rajib, I wonder that your discussion's quality is superb but when it comes to add comments, you tend to loose the same quality. If you work hard or creating discussions, you should work hard on adding comments too. Somehow I didn't get your point. You are saying that we Indian are not accepting new things. I wonder why do you think like that. We are accepting each and every aspect of life which is coming in with us. You know people now are giving more emphasis on career, be it in study or sports. We even have started winning in Olympics too. Indian guys are now entering into Nasa also. What extra do you want from us?

Hello my friend krajibg Ji, Human behiour do not operate with remotes, unlike switching-off and on. The adoptibility is very slow, so many things happen around and dynamic people think other ways. It is natural. Else, we must have thrown out all present politicians long back. It will take much more time to simulate conditions. May god bless You and have a great time.

Be careful what you wish for Rajib. Repeated American rebellion has led to a society of people with no sense of social boundaries who justify their childish and irresponsible behaviors. Personally, there are a few things from Victorian times I would like to see a return to like manners and RESPECT for others. Complete strangers touch you at social gatherings and say all sorts of things that are inappropriate for mixed company. There are a lot of people in need of serious anger management and the problems are so out of hand they would take a lifetime to address. I have never been to India. My only impressions are what I have seen in films like Water and Fire and documentaries. I think the East has certain advantages over the West when it comes to families and tradition and so forth. Change is something in life over which we have little control but some changes are good and some are not. My city is one of those places where the majority of people were resitant to change and then the hurricane hit and the flood protection system failed in a couple places and 80% of the city was under water. Now the people had no choice. People who don't want to live in certain parts of town don't want to live here. There has been a lot of opportunity to come from this great misfortune but many people are too busy complaining and whining like children to embrace those opportunities. In other instances people are afraid of change because there is security in what is familiar.

Coming from a country so different from the the ways of life of the western countries, I can say we live in a strange country indeed. Not only are we often inconsistent but we can also be downright self-contradictory. I see young couples and their families these days are more expressive about their love for one another. Perhaps this generation is more exposed and can clearly see what sort of affection is permissable and what isn't. Perhaps it is the result of some western influence but if it is so, so what? Better they learn to love then to hate. Besides I rather see a man being openly affectionate.

Most of the people having selfishness so that is making the society wrong so people need to have helping nature each other then we can see better world so and you wrote good points here.

Well as you very well know how divided our society is and different communities have different level of acceptance of new things like when the population of India exploded and we had so much land as compared to people and we wanted to implement birth control measures, u know the most backward communities opposed it most, same way with Govt pulse polio program. But u can not say Indian dont take up change. Some take it very fast like the economic liberalization in 1991. though there were some resistance by some people with their own interest being harmed like trade unions who were getting pay without work or the factory owners who would sell us any dam thing as competition was not allowed and we Indians were first of the countries to force paperless trading of shares in share market. but since level of education is not so much here so illiteracy and orthodoxy donot allow people to open their mind. I have seen some educated people being orthodox too and they can be lethal.. i hope our education don't take us there.

In my world,life can be described quiet but i like this peaceful feeling.We're calm but it dosen't mean we're impassive.We're making attempts to achieve our goals.Well,competition exists in every corner of my life.Fortunately,the tense atmosphere haven't went into an oppresive level.We should be ambitious but we can't be utilitarian.

Our society is getting uglier every single day!earth getting ruin by people. But its a part of being on the modern world.People innovate things with good advantages but having disadvantages also will not be gone.So if we try to get on the hightech world also waste and earth degradation will grow even faster that us having a good life.In order to go much further with our life we are consuming earth's resources, with billions of people living on this earth, time will come this earth will never be enough for human.Now some nations are at war,People so greedy and cruel this king of Attitude will bring us down in the future.Every person here wants power to dominate.
