spur of the moment

It’s 12 o’clock and I can’t sleep.

Why?

Because I’ve got all these ideas that keep popping up in my mind like crazy little firecrackers, so I’ve decided to blog all about it on impulse.

I will release a 5(if i can be bothered to) part series. This one is the first of the many that would come.

Pt.1.

Recently in politics (yes it’s a subject that I do for vce believe it or not) we have been discussing about the impacts of internationalism and globalisation (if you do not know these terms I suggest u ask Wikipedia =P).

I know that many of you would not find these topics as interesting to talk about as I do. However, these topics will, in the long run, impact everyone’s lives and the shape of the world we live in. (gosh that sounded like an introduction of an essay >_>)

And so i decided to rant away my keen interest on the contemporary society.

The concept of internationalism is like that of internet. In a sense, internationalism/globalisation would end up having everyone in the world connected to each other in some sort of way.

I have come to a realisation that we are heading towards some sort of Orwellian utopia – driven by greed.

Greed drives the world around.
Money drives the world around.

Capitalism is fuelled by short term gains (hence the financial crisis, THANK YOU AMERICA). Our possible future destination could be one of American hegemony (again) or god-knows-what. But one thing that I know is that we are heading towards some sort of ‘sheep behaviour’.

The contemporary society has lost its individuality.

We all start to think/want the same things in life (not that I’m saying similarity is bad). I know it’s quite hypocritical of me to say this, but it scares me how us young people generally think of things on the superficial level.

But then again, its an OPINION.

If it sounded tad odd, then, my editor-in-chief-in-grammar (aka ally dearest <3)>

Cheerios.

(yes i managed to write using big words at 12. dont ask me why..or how..)
