Change the World
If I could change one thing about what I see in the world I would not know where to start because there are so many issues with the world I wish I could change. Although there are many choices to pick from, I really wish I could change society. The people in this world are very selfish and inconsiderate to everyone surrounding them.
My biggest issue with society is how it is based on appearance. People are so quick to judge everyone on what they wear or what they look like. I wish people were not so quick to judge because people are so much more than just what they look like. If people did not judge others on appearance I believe that everyone would truly be happier.
I have been very lucky to have been raised by such a great mom. She has taught me how to be respectful, responsible, honest, grateful, and basically has made me who I am. Unfortunately, not many people in my generation have had the same wonderful opportunity. Children nowadays are very disrespectful towards adults and it really bothers me, even though I am child myself. Society is allowing children to disrespect their friends, teachers, families, and even themselves. It is sad hearing my friends talk about "having a good time" by drinking, smoking or doing drugs. I think most of this, not all of it, falls back onto the parenting and simply not disciplining their children at home and trying too much to be their friends.
Being a woman, I despise that society is sexualized and has particular gender roles. Especially being an athlete I am tired of hearing "...but you are a girl" or "... you cannot play that sport" and my least favorite is "...I am better than you because you are a girl." It is very annoying that men do not think women are as good as them at sports simply due to the fact that we are women! Sadly, this is also seen in the corporate world. Majority of CEOs are men because in society men are suppose to be "in charge." This is also seen in Congress where only 98 of the 535
