Requested Essay: What changes would you like to see in our society?

Hello Sheren

We do not normally write essays for students, if this is what you mean! Most essays on http://3education.mu have been contributed by very bright students. We shall upload more very soon.

However, our team is delighted to give you some ideas you can use in your essay. The first thing to do is to explain the title. Very often GP titles are very broad. 'Changes' could mean physical changes in your village/town or country or it could mean changes in the mentality of people. Our team has chosen the second direction mainly because the first one is easy to talk about whereas currently despite having all facilities in life, people are working more and more, are more stressed, socialise less, spend more time in useless things, drink more and they have no time at all to help others.

We have been very lucky to get some ideas from George Carlin.

"The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider highways, but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.

We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, hate too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour.

We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less.

We plan more, but accomplish less.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait.

We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

George Carlin
