Everything Stays The Same

Everything changes but everything also stays the same. We vote in elections for government, we have a new leader, but we have the same system, the same groups of people in different numbers and names making very simular decisions. Sometimes signifigant permanant changes are made by them, but the system they work on with and through stays the same. The society we live in stays the same throughout history, shops open and close, people gain and loose jobs, but we still live in a society that works through us gaining money through work or trade to swap for things we want. Music may have changed through rock, rap, dance, grunge, tecno, folk, and a million more, but from the ninteen thirties and probably earlier young people have always played whatever type of music they like much louder than old people would like. illegal drugs are confiscated, corrupt police are investigated and fired, but there are still junkies looking for and finding high's and kid's being sold or given recreational drugs at parties and clubs. We have anti discrimination work laws, so all races, religions and people of all levels of mental health are given jobs, but we still do not treat all of us as equals. We have the medicine and technology to cure many illnesses, but there are many ilnesses that we remain unable to cure, and many people who are never treated for their cureable ilnesses. We are simple humans these are only a few of the things we have created and adjusted to. Our way of life, is acepted as normal to us, everything we see around us in society, has alway's been there, so we asume it always will, and we have made ourselves comfortable in that.
