Widespread

I feel like we all have to same answer to this question. Society today is lazy, fat, and spoild. I agreed with the documentary in some ways and disagreed in others. It is definately more evident to me that because we our incouraging our kids to watch television at young ages we are breading a couch potato society. I agree to that fact. However, I dont believe it is all the parents fault for this situation. I am a true believer in peoples leading personalities. Meaning I believe that it is the persons responsibiltity to take charge of their own life. This only comes with age and growing knowledge though. Parents are mearly the guiding portal into a better balanced life. Society today is greatly based on material things. One simple example: cars. I walk outside of my school into the parking lot everyday. I continously see that bright yellow "Transformers" car sitting right in front of me, the blinged out Hummer to my right, and the sporty Camero to my left. Then there is Angelo....my beautiful white, dirty, old Toyota Camrey. Oh how I love my grandma car.....NOT. Kids these days are spoiled with lavish cars and presents that they are not yet ready to handle. A BMW for your first car...seriously? This in turn only makes me feel like more of a shmuck for my vechicle. Growing up in a world where the better quality things you have make you a better person is life changing. However, I do believe this seperates people. The people who have all of these lavish things from the people who appriciate the finer things in life. Unfortunately there are not enough of the later in life. We need to get out and get active. Its scary to think about how long it will take for society to totally transform back to the better.
