Society?

Today, in my opinion society and democracy is something everyone talks and thinks about, but not to many people take action on. In the reading is says,” Most of human history is the history of elites, of kings, queens, princes, … and squires, all of whom subordinated and exploited everyday people.” I believe this is still somewhat going on today, because so many people don’t take action, and let the rich and powerful determine what is going on. This can even be seen on a school playground where the popular athletic kid gets to determine what other do because he can make fun of them or not be friends with them. I think that at County, the kids are caught in this trap, where if they want to actually do well in school and respect their teachers, (which is something that not many of them do) then their “friends” or classmates will make fun of them. I think Society hasn’t gotten to a bad point, and believe that the word community that so many people say is slowly becoming extinct. What is community? A community is defined on the web as a place where people live in a common area, with the same rules. Today, the people living in the same area have different beliefs and rules they follow and at the same time never talk to their neighbors. It just seems as people are to narrow minded and don’t look out for the neighbor anymore. Hell, I barely get a wave from people when I wave at them at the crosswalk when the let me go. It is sorta embarrassing to be living in a society where people aren’t friendly anymore and people really only care for themselves.
