1. School
System: At times, I feel as though society likes to throw its hands up and say,
“oh well, this generation is a disaster.” Then, we try to teach the younger
generation so that they will not be so unfortunate as our own. However, the
school system is failing. In many public school systems, the teacher to student
ratio is absurd. Teachers cannot receive sufficient supplies to even teach their
classes. Similarly, students fail to appreciate academic possibilities and
instead, turn to dangerous paths.
2. Health Care
System: Unfortunately, the health care system is failing to meet the needs of
the citizens. While taxes pay for those who do not need emergency care, those
who truly stagger under the weight of medical demise cannot receive the help
they need.
3. Nutritional
Problems: I eat a sandwich for lunch and, to be honest, I am not sure what I
truly put into my body. The amount of hormones people now place in meats has
negative health consequences. Likewise, our nation’s consumption of
preservatives is creating more health problems.
4. Mental
Health—Perception of/Treatment: Staggering amounts of people have been
diagnosed with mental health problems in our nation and yet, many do not
receive the treatment that they need. Furthermore, those who do not have mental
disorders are ill educated about the psychological problems of others.
5. Literary
Loss: Most people read text messages or tweets instead of novels. Consequentially,
we are turning our language into a convoluted chaos of mere statements instead
of sentences. As we lose our ability to read admirable texts, we stumble upon
an inability to properly communicate with one another and other nations.
I agree with you on your points! With the U.S. society always on the go, it's hard to take time to prepare good food and research the ingredients being put into daily food items. Also it's too bad that people who are supposedly "normal" do not get educated about the difficulties a lot of people with mental health problems have to face .
