I did not have that much of a challenge coming up with a "bug list". I am an activist so I see many things that are wrong with the world around me and ways it can be changed. I know some people will not agree with the things that bother me, or even think that they are too extreme, but I believe that the world would be a better place if everyone was more open minded and aware of the terrible things happening every day.
Nice list Isabella. I find number 13 very relate-able haha.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I agree with you on a few of these. One of them is when you say that people complain about something for the sake of complaining. I guess people have nothing better to do so they pick out something in society and start babbling about it. Another one I agree with is that some people are short minded and think they are always right. I work with a few people like this and they drive me insane sometimes.

DeleteVery interesting post, I can tell you're an activist, you seem to care a lot about animals.I totally agree about hostility to immigrants, I think they're one of the greatest parts of the United States. I do respectfully disagree with you on a few things,namely your claim regarding how effected people are by society. I'm of a mind that society and its effects are pretty great, obviously there are some negatives but in general our society drives people to achieve and be intelligent, productive, and wealthy. Its easy to look at reality tv and think society is hurting people but society tries to prevent people from killing others, stealing from others, and harming others. I would prefer if everyone would not do these things on their own but when they don't I want societal pressures to push them in the right direction. But I do see what you're saying. Overall good blog, interesting read.
