After reading "The World Is Too Much With Us” by William Wordsworth there are a multitude of themes that strike me as relevant to our current society. Themes of modernization‚ isolationism and sadness open up a dialog to the human condition.

The blatant reason why we should accentuate the diversity in society is because it truly represents the essence of the people. It exemplifies all of who we are - our physical‚ abstract‚ social‚ political‚ and religious being. It reflects our achievements‚ short-comings‚ dilemmas‚ and evolution. To deny the essence of a culture‚ is to deny all that we

Do we rely too much on technology? Technology is a great thing‚ it is used anywhere and everywhere around the world. Whether it’s a radio or an iPad‚ we all have some sort of technological device lying around somewhere in the house.

deserve to make money Some people think it is unfair that athletes and actors are paid the amount that they are. How much should someone get paid for doing something they love to do? How hard is it to play a game‚ or to talk into a camera? The truth is that we all love to watch actors and athletes perform; we pay millions of dollars a day to go see a movie at the theater or to just sit in a loud arena.
