The world is changing. Some values change also. For example, who can say nowadays that being honest or responsible is his priority in life. I wonder what values disappeared by your meaning.

Integrity. Most people don't even know what that means anymore. We have adopted a political and economic system where people are encouraged to be selfish. The result is that those values that hold a community together disappear.

Exactly. They say you are a naive idiot. Worse, if you are honest, most people will do their best to cheat you. Everything is about money.

Chris come on people have been lying, stealing and being over all dishonest forever.

I think the net is changing how people relate to others. When I was young people were kind and never rude now I find people treat others as if they are not important. If I meet a friend, I say hello and then good-bye when we part. Why is it people don't think they have to do that on line?

Maybe we should create clubs for people who have any values. It is difficult to live in a world where nothing matters.

You are right on the spot Scubadiva. The selfish society is a ticking bomb and is also the target for marketing campaigns. Because a selfish human being wants stuff, and often before anyone else have it. Just to be able to brag about it. And I believe that some people thinks that to be selfish means to have integrity.
How stupid isn't that?

I agree the world is changing and it makes me feel very old fashioned at times because I do think honesty is important and I have spent my whole life being responsible. At the age I am now I actually want to be a little bit irresponsible but old habits die hard!

Some people have changed.
But not all people have.
There are still many who have values,
usually the values were instilled in them
by their parents.
So - it all depends on what the parents instilled in their kids?

Although, I must say, I know one person who had no parents, had an awful lifej, was treated cruely by foster parents, and is still the most perfect human being, with values surpassing many others.
The only thing "lacking" in this person is self-confidence.

And I`m not talking about myself!laugh

Yes the living on earth is changing. Not only the human beeing change
their lifestile.confused

We getting more and more People on the earth,we want more Luxury and
comfore,but we cann't pay it,- the prise(not the money) is too high.
Our Systems(capitalistic,comunistic,...) take away the humanity because they need more and more Money for their own payment and the commodities.

It's a premanent fight and it's a fight against our own frustrated

But I think we have been fighting more then long enouth against each other, it's time to respect and ally each other handshake and work together for our only livible Planet (Earth).
Otherwise Human beeing belongs to history in several Years.blues

So we need : POWER, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY and SHARING TOGETHER

Money and Luxury you cann't eat if the Nature Earth is gone.


take a look for other languages(their are planty)

Let's start TOODAY yay

spirit46 and Latina_Flor, we need to be responsible and take care of our planet. We have only one earth and only we, people, can do it.


Scubadiva and chris27292729, yes, everything is about money nowadays and if we think differently we are called stupid idiots. But I think that there are many people in the world and luckily every of us is different from the other. We may look for those who are similar to us. Yes, it is difficult but I think more difficult is trying to get rid of our values.


smallworlds, are you sure the Internet is the reason of changing peoples' manners? What about films on tv, dvd?


Maisie, personnaly I also feel old fashioned but I enjoy it.


smoky, yes, I agree the parents have great responsibility for instilling values to their children but also the kids groups, friends, schools, tv, and now the Internet is responsible for it.

What if the world is the cake, and everyone wants too big piece of that cake?

But it's really interesting that you mention "value". What is value for you Conrad?

I don't care if I can be treated as stupid or idiot. It is none of my business. Of course, some people may think I am easy to cheat. But it is not true. I pay a lot of attention and my friend are not many, but true friends and honest.
