If I Could Change Anything...

If I could change anything in the world, it would be society. Society can bring out the worst and best in people. Some people choose to go along with what society thinks is acceptable. Appearances, jobs, and social status are among the many things that society judges you on. Society can make people resort to the most terrible actions. Some take it so seriously that they feel that they do not have a place in the world. I would like to change the ways society views people. It may seem impossible but really when you stop to think about it, it is not that hard. All that we really have to do is simply stop going along with what the rest of the people think and think for yourself. It definitely is a huge challenge, but you have to put your mind to it and not conform to what the ideas of society are. Once we change to how society wants us to be, we end up just wanting to go back to the people we were. Society has an idea of what "perfection" is. Really, there is no such thing as perfection. No matter how hard we try, we will never be anywhere close to perfection. Society is a hypocrite. They tell us to be ourselves. It's hard for us to be ourselves because when we try to, we end up feeling like we are not good enough. Society wants us to be our own person, but in the end, society tears us down and judges us. It ends up almost killing the confidence of others. Society judges people no matter what we try to do. I want to change society's standards. I want to change the way we view people. I also want to change the way we automatically make assumptions about others before we even get to know them. People should actually get to know the person they make assumptions about before they judge them. I am guilty of that, though. I am actually guilty of almost all of these things. I am not just blaming others because I know that I am one of them. It is a bad habit of mine to judge people before I get to know them. I am trying to work on that this year. I do not know how I will do that, but I know it's possible. Society has an everyday effect on people. It ends up hurting us and making us feel like we do not have a purpose in the world. It makes us want to give up. Even though we want to give up, we have to stop and think about how we can change the ideas of society. We can tell people when we see they are judging another person and tell them to stop. We can help people be aware of the affects of society. This is a huge task to take on alone. We all make up society but we blame society for the mistakes we make. If we want society to change, then we are the ones who have to change and be better people.
