Modern Society, what's it coming to?



Just because you can, does not mean you should! 

I see a lot of young people complain about society and the way they are treated
But then I see the same people using degenerative behaviour, posting or liking derogatory things on social media because they think it's funny, sexually objectifying themselves for reason I don't even know or comprehend 
Gender bashing & stereotyping....labelling absolutely everything and anyone 
It seems they have no limits or boundaries on themselves nor do they care or consider the opinions of others
This is a society based on and living by phrases & quotes such as...

'Yolo'
'I do what I want'
'I won't sensor myself to comfort your ignorance'

Using these phrases to justify your actions 
Huh? Isn't that just ignorance in itself? 

We as a society have definitely moved forward in many ways but I find a lot of behaviours & choices quiet primitive & set us back as a whole
They strive to be...What? Different? Stand out?
You know in the end we are all the same...equality right? 
Well some people definitely stand out. But not in a good way 

I see a lot of girls lately sooking up about male (meathead) behaviours but then they post things that totally fuels & encourages that meathead standard...not doing much for the female movement or equality 

Then you have the meatheads that will like it, like a little boy discovering porn for the first time & sharing with his buddies who in turn like it... in effect only encouraging the person to post more.
Not doing much to prove you're not what society thinks you are 

Vicious cycle! 

So I ask you this, as social media is such a big part of life now
what are you contributing to society? 
Does it have the potential to bring more degeneration into this world we live in or the potential to make a difference? 
Should you question yourself? 
How are you portraying yourself?
More importantly
What example are you setting for future generations to follow? 
Is it good or bad & should you care? 
Because yolo! 

Take a look in the mirror because you ARE society & how you're treated is a reflection of how you treat others & how you portray yourself to the world

So basically own you're on crap, ask yourself how am I coming across to be treated this way? 
How can I change it? 
& if you see your friends being meatheads or doing something they should think twice about...don't be afraid to call them out...but in a productive way...you may just give them a different perspective on their behaviour
