Cultural shifts:
I think with every generation, there will be significant changes that shape society. Our generation, I think is one that is surrounded by technology. As we have seen throughout history, technological advancements most always have both advantages and disadvantages. I think that our generation is made of well educated, intelligent and independent people. In addition, I think people of this generation see the importance of being a “well rounded” person: therefore people partake in a variety of activities. I think people are consumed with a wide range of work and extracurricular activities so their attention is almost always scattered between several different things. People are concerned with doing more things as opposed to being committed to one thing. I think adults focus on their work and daily routine rather than worry about things such as having dinner with neighbors or family friends. I think overall the priorities of people have shifted from concerns about ones community, family, and neighborhood to oneself and immediate family.
