not Laugh out loud.
this is based on an observation that i heard recently.
this was about how on ecannot take anyone else for granted, as everyone seems to be Living their Own Life - hence LoL..
a lot has been written about nuclear families.
but, in today's competitive, consumerist world, it is more of I, me, myself.
and anything that is centered around onself is what seems to matter.
whether it is while standing in line for movie tickets or getting into a parking slot;
whether it is while ordering at a fast food restaurant or getting into a bus;
some of this agressive behaviour can be observed even in children.
is it because of the ads and programs they are exposed to?
many ads emphasize the individual and the rewards of pampering oneself -- 'i am worth it..'
or 'making your own road / rules..'
what are the new values of society?

Newspaper and TV play an important role to add values in the society. I think they are not doing their job properly, instead they are giving more importance how to become more popular and generate more revenue.
People in this world are getting very self-centred....
It is always a 'mein' instead of a 'hum'
The press is lso more interestd in the newest clothes Aishwarya rai got or the super cool hairstyle of dhoni's... Where do the add values to the society??
it is all a matter of perception. the ideals of ayn rand, that put the individual and ego above all, can have many manifestations.
living one's own life is not that bad, as long as we know where to draw the line and 'get-in'; rather than 'get-out'.
the constant chaos that surrounds us,, the constant struggle to reach the elusive crest - are all major contributors to the mass-media hysteria and hence, the influence on the younger generation.
