Essay 2.3

Nowadays we live in a society dominated by images and appearances, and we, the young people, because of our immature character and personality are responsible of being an easy catch. The society each day is turning more materialist. All the people are more interested in what they have rather than who they are. This affects even the industries and the economy of a nation. As indicated; the people go to the stores without the intention of buying the best and the good quality stuff, they buy the stuff that gives them a better look. Sometimes these things are expensive and the people are so obsessed of being part of this society that they even fall in deep debts just to look cool. This affects all the society without mentioning the young people, that are an easy catch. The young people's personalities and their characters aren't matured and are easily influenced. We, the young people, just want to feel accepted by the group and if this means we need to make something to look cooler we may do it. And by cooler we mean anything that gives us a better image or an appearance that may help us stand out of the group or just be part of it. Some persons justify that it is not young people's responsibility the stupid acts they do, they say that they´re part of their learning experience. This isn´t true. Although their acts are part of their learning experience, they are, as any other acts they do,their responsibility. In conclusion, the kind of society we´re living in helps the young people do stupid things, and makes them think that life is about the image you project but this isn´t true at all, and after all in my opinion the things that are going to give us strength in our lives are the things we abstain to do.
