The Path of Least Resistance


     Our generation’s biggest problem is apathy.  In every generation, there have been problems arise and people have discussed what their cause is and have searched for a solution.  I feel like in our generation, problems arise, many due to advancements in the media, but there is much less discussion about a solution. The increase of impatience and ignorance, for example, are only problems because we aren't driven to find a solution. By the time we see the results of emerging technology, we have incorporated it thoroughly into our lives. At this point, instead of changing, we just accept the problem as part of the new norm.  We've stopped caring, because caring is hard. We've settled for the path of least resistance.

  1. That's an interesting way to put it: the path of least resistance. I agree that society takes the easy way out and is impatient. We also are less wanting of change.

  2. I think you make a good point. People seem to be more lazy and apathetic.

  3. This is so true, its kind of like what I wrote. There definitely are many people who just cruise through life.

  4. And yet people leave such vehement comments on youtube. Maybe the caring has just become very short-lived?
