american society

I personally agree that American society is very competitive. There are several examples, kids or high school children are very competitive. Different ethnicities are very competitive; girls are competitive against each other. Boys are extremely competitive towards each other as well. There are a lot of ways to explain how people are competitive.

Reason number one “teenagers” are very competitive. They worry about what the next person is wearing, how they hair is and they carry themselves. It ties in to the girls and boys being competitive towards the next person. Everyone wants to be better than someone else. Then when somebody are not up to their standards and can not afford the designer clothes they want to talk about them and make them feel low of themselves.  I think that everyone should be accepted by who they are and not what they wear or do. Being so competitive in high school takes focus on other things. Children worry about the wrong things. For example the first day of school, everybody dress up in their new clothes and show their new things off. Which I feel is okay but they do it for the wrong reasons. They do it to show off, put other people down and to make fun of someone who doesn’t have new things. Kids usually get their confidence put down by their peers.  Children now days talk so bad about each other.

Reason number two people of different ethnicities act very competitive towards each other. For example with jobs there are a lot of Korean’s and Caucasian’s working and African American , Latinos’ are having the hardest time finding jobs, or getting a job. I had did an internship over the summer at LAX Airport, in the accounting operations, there was Korean’s and about 3 Latino’s and 3 African American. It is very competitive in the real world.

Reason number three in college you are competing with a million and one kids when you apply to get a spot at the college u want to go to. You have to either have the grades, the SAT score, ACT score, or the extra activity. It’s very competitive. You have to compete with every one who applies so this world is competitive in so many ways.

American society is very competitive. It sometimes has good reasons, and it something tends to hurt people or makes them feel bad about themselves. The society we live in will always be competitive; it’s like a way of living.
