Plagues of Our Generation



Today's generation is plagued with several issues. Things that are deemed as acceptable now, was never acceptable once upon a time.

Issue no. 1- social media. Social media has almost completely consumed today's society. We spend almost everyday on facebook, twitter, and instagram displaying our personal business. When the wrong information is displayed, it can cause fights, division, and it sometimes makes it difficult to get hired.

Secondly, clothing is an issue. We spend a lot of time focusing on what we're wearing, as well as what others are wearing. Most get ridiculed for not wearing the right brand. Consumerism is now all about the name.

Third, sex is an issue. Many give away their innocence entirely to early or before they are ready. This causes many unplanned teen pregnancies, an also the unexpected contraction of STD's.

Overall, I believe that peer pressure- the urge to fit in- is the biggest issue. Avoiding being labeled as an outcast is the motive for most activities that our generation takes part in. Generations have changed drastically over time, and only for the worse.
