Responsibility and Society

This word means so much to some and so little to others. I personally have had a job for going on four years now. So I know a little something about responsibility, Don't come late, do your job, don't talk on your cell phone, etc. But recently there has been a very odd struggle going on in my mind about whether or not responsibility really matters among society anymore. All anyone really needs to do to get by is offer a sincere or a fake apology and most people take it. It sickens me to see how our society has declined so much in recent years. Most people don't care whether a person is incredibly smart or a complete idiot anymore. The whole world is based around a favoritism concept, If someone likes you or if you suck up to a "higher up" it will get you so much farther then actually being qualified for a given task. I see hundreds of people who I don't believe belong in our so called "Modern Society", But by some unknown reason they are still here. Now I'm not saying that everyone in the world isn't qualified, I'm saying that there are more qualified people that deserve better treatment.

Respect, Trust, and unspoken Courtesy

Many people forget that there are many things that should not be said in the presence of other people. Having been through many through many of these situations I have come to one final conclusion. If someone who is considered to be one of your good friends does not respect something you have repeatedly told them to listen to or respect you must tell them how you feel and if they are your true friends they will understand and change. But if these people do not understand and act hostile towards you, Then you must make a very important decision. Either forget about it or handle the situation no matter what the consequences may be. The idea of respect was originally created so that other people who have not met the individual that demands respect will be treated how they feel they should be treated, But now in present times respect has adapted to a new custom. Meeting someone for the first time you would treat them differently then you would someone you've known for years. In most cases people do not think about other peoples feelings because everyone has become so self-centered and they only care about themselves so much, That it is amazing that we still have the concepts of friends in our modern society...
