is modern society breaking down?

Imagine. Imagine a conversation without listening. Imagine a relationship with no love, where we cannot express emotion if money and power is not obtained, a society that is being manipulated by the government and there is no way out of these rigid walls limiting our freedom.  Don’t you think so? That we are being tied by our legs and we’re not able to spread our wings and be free as a majestic eagle? We must not listen to these malicious politicians because we are affecting ourselves through greed and not being sympathetic to those in need.

 

In our modern society with its internet, it’s reality TV and it’s advanced technology, there are new problems that we must face that continues to bring down our society.

 

The greatest of our problems is money due to the fact that we’ve enabled our government in the UK to manipulate our trust in them against us through corruption.Money is dark, it’s dangerous, once its found there’s no way to escape. Throughout history money has lead to greed , murder and conflict. In this modern society with more money than ever, we have seen more greed than ever, more murder than ever and more conflict than ever. Lie and more lies have been told to us by the government. Such as David Cameron announced that they were paying Britain’s debt, this turned out to be a lie. Money leads to people destroying what they have built with their hearts and mind. Families and friendships cannot withstand the destructive power of money. So wake up people, smell the roses, make yourself aware of this danger in our society!

Greed came to the world through money. The devil lies inside each dollar, each pound, each yen,haunting us without us knowing.We have so much money in this world yet we can’t spare a small proportion of it for our brothers?Why not help one another? There are 185,000 homeless people living in the streets hungry, not knowing if somebody’s out there to love them, why not love each other?There has been inequality in this world since the day money was introduced to us, the UK and the United states of America spent £530 Billion on the war in Iraq. Clearly, the rich have money to fight with each other but can’t help the poor dying of starvation. Society has been shattered like broken glass. It is crumbling down.

America was a victim of a catastrophe. When the Twin Towers were destroyed by terrorists, America pledged to fight back. They marched into Iraq, shooting down Saddan Hussein and his troops. The mission was apparently complete, but something caught the eye of the American government, leading them down the road to greed and disaster . The oil hidden far underground has lead to a continuation of the vicious war. America has attacked Iraq for the past 10 years, killing 116,000 civilians. This action happened because we as society weren’t awake to the threat of greed, money and power dominating our minds. This simple action led to 116,000 horrible consequences;Innocent lives were lost. It’s not just in the UK where society is breaking down, its occurring all around the world including America.

British society is crumbling because of the loss of our trust. We’ve been manipulated by our government enslaving us to pay higher taxes. but not to achieve our own goals. I live in the UK, a society in which these power hungry politicians squeeze the juice out of us. That’s right, we’re lead by power hungry machines. We as citizens of the UK fall for their devious and malicious ideas hidden within their deliberately confusing talk of statistics that are only intended to hold us at arms length away from the truth.Our government has allowed incredibly high prices I for rent and house prices, every year it seems that the rent increases weekly price, this has lead people to become homeless all over Britain due to the fact the government’s technique to drain the juice out of us, all our efforts, hard work is being drained out of us like it’s nothing. The government are possessed by money, the more they have the more they want. This has influences us to become possessive and has lead us to turn our backs on the poor. This is why our society is decaying.

Money is the filter of sympathy. The rich and the government laughs at us, they mock us like a mocking bird. Contrastingly there are those who aren’t intimidated by money, who know how not to let money manipulate them, who have money but are self centred in what they believe. Bill Gates, the richest man the planet once announced his will of leaving 90% of his earnings, around 50 billion dollars on to charity after his death and not his children. This is evident that our society still has a chance to survive as Bill Gates is a man with power and with heart to help the poor.

In conclusion to my point, I believe our love for money has taken over us and made us into addicted power hungry machines, that do not respect those who are weaker than us. We have given those with a lower wage a lower status, causing us to be the reason why our society is corrupt.This has caused us to be distant from each other and unsympathetic to the plight of others, even though we were all born on this planet . We should all live in peace and become more reconciled with each other.
