Many people feel that American Society is too competitive. Do you agree? If so, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
American Society today is a race to be on top. People do what they have to do to "make it." "Make it" meaning be very sucessful in their future life down the road. Basically that person living the American Dream. Every person in American wants this dream, and that is why it is a very competative society that we live in. I think that everyone can and should agree that American society is very competative. I don't think this is a bad thing though. People have the drive and they want to do good in life. College is probably the key to having a sucessful life in the future. More and more people are finding this out, and more and more people are trying to go to college now. Colleges have had to raise the cost of tuition because of the number of students they have now. It is also harder to get into these universities/institutions because of the very high number of applicants. Now people have to do not their best, but better than that in high school, if they want to go to their college of choice. Students are not just competing in their own high school, they are competing with students in other high schools, in other states around the country, and even students in other countries around the world. We don't just live in a competative society, we live in a competative world. Everything is a race, challenge, war, or some type of competition in everything that we do. You must turn your good into great, and make your better into your best if you want to win in this world.

Good post, it kept me interested. However, I do see some errors and I'd like to suggest some changes.
ReplyDeleteFirst, please indent. Also, your use of 'race' my seem misleading to the reader because I first thought you were talking about ethnicity and not a running or car race. I suggest using something more common in place of that :)
No need for quotation marks on "make it."
Check your spelling on 'competative'.
I suggest this in your sentence 'People have the drive and they want to do good in life.'-- People have the drive to want to do good in life.
I suggest this in 'Now people have to do their best, as well as become a well rounded individual--unique'
Hmm...your word choices war, and race are quite interesting. Might I ask why you chose those words?
Be more elaborative when you say 'good' and 'your' at the end of your post. Some readers may feel like they've been left hanging or stopped at a cliffhanger.
And again, good post :)
Shut up poopycheeks!
