(H) 535-546: Wishard, Caught Between the Ages

The concept of change is something that holds a lot of controversy among people. Many people embrace change because they feel as if it will benefit their state of life. On the other hand, many people reject change because they wis to hold onto their traditions and like the system of how things are now. In this controversial debate many questions come into mind about change. As a society were used to having things the way they are now, however what if we were different. By this I mean what if our democracy was different and instead we lived under a monarchy like the UK. Our lives and society would be completely different. Our way of thought would not coincide of how we look at the world today. Many people see the concept of change to be scary as if our whole lives are bing turned upside down. In a way as the years pass and we become more advanced many of our lives change to be something completely different than the years before. For example, the idea of phones was created to help up in every day live, however now in days it seems like we can’t live a day without our electronics. Technology has incorporated itself into our lives so deeply that we have come to depend on it for nearly everything. In a way, change has become inevitable because of the innate desire to continue to accomplish more and develop more. Like the idea of power, the more we have, the more we want. America has prided itself in its self-efficiency and the progress we have made since out first integration as a country. Nevertheless, people come to reject eh notion of changing because of the value they’ll have on society in the future. For example, when technology fist started it big revolution on daily life, it also began to be incorporated into jobs as well. This caused for many of the factory workers to lose their jobs because a machine came in to replace them. This idea that change is bad is what divides those from advancing and holding onto traditions.
