Greed

as you may or may not have noticed, this is a topic which i frequently talk about. It's probably the biggest problem with today's society, and seeing as how I constantly observe and analyze my surroundings, I would think it's only fair to give an objective viewpoint on this issue.

We must realize that it exists everywhere, not just in our surroundings. It's the underlying reason in which 99% if problems in this world occur, yet it's ignored more than any other topic in today's world. Why, because greed has become acceptable in today's world, more now than it ever has been. We spend more money than we earn, and while sometimes with good reason, nothing is ever enough for people these days, but society isn't raising minimum wage, and won't EVER cater to the average income family, which is fair, but creates a hectc lifestyle for our emerging families. For instance, more people everyday turn to low-class jobs such as stripping or adult film, just to pay off their student loans. And even more appalling, these industries are becoming more and more accepted by Americans, simply because we've grown up in a sex culture. Nothing is off limits anymore today, everything that could have happened has happened. For instance, has there ever been a worse summer for hollywood? Films are becoming a joke, with the same storylines used over and over again, the same dead-beat actors making millions doing nothing, and magazine spreads becoming so acceptable that we have a billion dollar industry in mags like Maxim, which un-coincidentally involve those same dead-beat actors.

But it all does eventually come back to greed, as actors are negotiating for more money than you, or child, and your child's child will make in your lifetime, on one movie. Athletes are holding out because they aren't getting paid 20 million dollars a year, and colleges are more and more becoming useless, albeit everyone should get an education. A depression will come, mind u, it's inevitable with today's economy, but I feel everyone needs limitations, because we must always have goals for ourselves that we strive for, and they mustn't always be economically motivated, as there are more important things in life than making money, we must make a difference in people's lives, and make the world a better place to live. Right now, I'd rather go to mars...
