Our Evolving world

Im not exactly sure i did this right.....i didnt answer the questions posed in the end. i just repsonded to the ideas propposed.

30 years older -- Being in my 50’s its amazing to see how far we have come as a nation. After so many years I have realized there is more to life than just living in your own bubble. When I was a kid we were limited to the groups we congregated in. All of my friends were of the same skin color and there were little differences between all of us. Now I watch my kids play and every child is a different color, height, weight, etc. Not a thing stops them from accepting each other and they are all equal. i never thought I would see an African American as president. Many things have contributed to these advancements. I remember thinking cell phones were way too cool and now my children are asking for hand held computers at the age of 10. What is this world coming to? Many argue there is no diversity but compared to when I was a toddler there has been worlds of difference. Sometimes I wonder what my kids will live to see.


I -- Some say that we all live in a superficial world that is all materialism. I do agree to this statement to some degree. Some also say we are not diverse one bit while others say we are as diverse as they come. I think we do congregate around the people we are the comfortable with, those people being like ourselves. This causes materialism. You judge a person off of what they look like, what they wear, how much money they have. Etc. By doing this we can easily pick out who is like us. This is why our diverse world is separated into homogenous communities. I really liked how this short story explained this. I had never thought about it as they put it but I found it to not only be very interesting, but also very true. I can even remember my brothers frowning upon interracial dating. Now it is as common as someone walking down the street. I think if the world continues as it is today, one day it really will be a diverse community


Contemporary Music Artist –- By touring the world for my musical talents I have been lucky enough to see all different walks of life. It’s peculiar to see how they interact and treat one another. When I was younger this interaction between different groups was what one would call “frowned upon.” Now a days it’s a common sight. In the future I think our nation, among others, will be extremely diverse. It is even possible for the minority count to exceed the native count. It will be interesting to see what the future holds.
