9:50 AM
Is it my imagination or has the world turned colder? Colder not in the physical sense but rather in the actions of people. Raising charity has become a charade. Celebraties become stunt people, risking their lives during the course of the event so as gain awareness. People who calls in to donate have to pay extra money to the telephone company. Some send their parents into old folk's home in order to rid/"fulfill" their duties. Suicide rates among the young have gone up because they are suppressed by their parents to do well. In this society, competition rather than cooperation seems to be happening. Even weber is for the protestant's perspective of individualism. Is this the world we want our future to live in?
