A Reader's Response to "The Inequality Map"
Brooks begins his blog about how foreigners think that American customs are strange and confusing, which got me thinking: who comes up with these "customs"? On what terms is inequality defined? I believe it has everything to do with the media. People spend so much time following what celebrities, who are just people, and their lives instead of improving the life they already have. Destructive forces are working against human interaction. Virtual reality, a pathetic substitute for real life, is one of the most successful industries in the United States. What the public doesn't realize that they are not contributing to society, but changing humanity. Evolution of society is essential to life, that much is true, but part of the human experience is to build relationships with one another. When we let other factors get in the way, like our facebook page, or pride, we give away the right to real, lasting friendships.
