The Need to Have it All
Whether we’re talking about celebrities or influencers created through media, the need to have it all, i.e., needing to achieve everything one sees in the media, drove America towards a divide. A sort of modern version of ‘keeping up with the Joneses’. The pre-media generation always brings up how the media had brought a huge change to the world, and not a good one.
Sadly, there is more truth in their statement that the current generation is willing to accept. Constantly looking at the lavish lives of the rich and famous has impacted the rest of the country in ways that are not always positive. For example, people believe that if one does not have certain things by a specific age, they have somehow failed at life.
It is almost like it is a race, and Americans are running without taking a breath to get somewhere all the time.
