Has our society become a nation of consumers and less creators?

The year is 2019 and many parts of the world are witnessing a growing number of mental illness cases amongst youngsters. We may view this as just another statistic that will come and go but there is enough for people to become worried. Let me explain.

Within my own extended family circle, I have seen teenagers becoming more and more despondent within the world they live in and this I partly blame to the consumerism of society today. Their goals are markedly different to say 10 or 20 years ago, where the consumption of information was not as well organized on the internet. You could pick and choose what your interests led to and find what you are looking for and just get on with your main life. However, with the advent of facebook and other social sites, your daily existence can be governed by the social sites since there is ‘intimate’ level of details you cans share with your social friends.

Have you ever sat around a close group of friends and had a drink or two with them? Depending on how the conversation meanders towards, the group as a whole can become enthralled and immersed in the conversation. Now take this meeting and multiply it by a hundred times and what you have is an engagement level with all of these groups to keep you at an all time high. This is how the fixation to facebook and other social sites have managed to corner the attention span of over 3 billion users around the world. Naturally many users will use their wisdom to filter out what and whom they choose to communicate with. What about the people who haven’t had the opportunity to learn from their mistakes or seek wisdom before allowing themselves to meander through these social platforms. Unfortunately, the very young people who grow up in this age of technology are the most likely to become influenced by this medium and as a result have some psychological problems.

The problem is that there is no guidance required from parents, they would tap into the multitude of friends and get the answers they are looking for and not always the right answers. After all, everyone wants to be different in this platform, some will do anything it takes to get them up the social scale and have plenty of likes. Unfortunately, there is no ‘manual’ on how to use facebook and children who are still immature are plunged into this social sphere and their minds are shaped by what they see and hear. Forget about the principled ethics of bringing up your child, they will turn to facebook for all their problems and answers.

As a parent we cannot stop them from using the social platforms but we can surely direct them. Fortunately, children as they grow up are curious to learn everything around them and to find meaning in the answers that they are looking for. It would be doing injustice to ignore those needs and we may blame this on our busy lives and not always finding the time. This could be the worst or the best decision you can possibly make in your life and something you will come to regret later. Remember, you are competing with a ‘powerhouse’ of thoughts and ideas that you cannot possibly expect to win. However, the affection and love you have over your child will supersede all of that and you do have the ability to ‘guide’ your child to higher plane of thoughts. This is with the entire aim of making your child into an adult that will ultimately make sensible decisions in life, has the coping skills to get along socially, emotionally with other people. Most of all having the desire to keep growing and have goals in life.

Please do not give up on your child. If you don’t address the problem early on, it will be an uphill battle that will be very difficult to change later on. You have brought the child into this world and it is your duty to see that they grow up to be strong healthy adults.

One of the ways you can guide your child is to make them creators. This is one of the most powerful tool that any parent can possess and lead and increase the child’s ability to do more than becoming consumers of the social space. When I say creating, I mean to keep that curious mind of theirs growing well into their teenage life. I found that this way of working can empower the individual so they have self-worth, high self-esteem and a future to look forward to. In essence many of the self-help books indirectly profess to this.

As an example of this to become more creative, I encourage youngsters to take up a hobby or a pastime that they will enjoy, for example, painting and drawing. This hobby alone which is usually lost as we enter adulthood has the ability to re-center the brain into what we collectively think of ourselves. It has the capacity to empower us as we are creating things from our imagination. This has the ability to ‘quieten’ the noise all around us and to provide a deep level of experience that brings us joy and happiness. We all know that ‘happiness’ is the most sought after ingredient that all mankind strives for. Why don’t you give it a try.

Here is the link to a drawing app that has helped me to ‘quieten’ the noise all around me and to help me understand more about myself and that is the perfect place to be for self-improvement.

  1. [...] The topic of evolution and belief in God is highly controversial and emotional and can rear its ugly heads from the two camps of believers and non-believers. It is still open to debate who is right and wrong because the simple truth is that nobody is right. Although, Richard Dawkins a proponent of evolution believes evolution to be an absolute truth and dispels anything that cannot be explained by scientific theory. In my opinion, if you do not leave ‘room’ for the unexplained and become awed by our physical observations, we come to a standstill and dispel any notions outside of ‘science’, like Dawkins like to think so. He admittedly believes in nothing that he cannot see or be explained by science? See our take on his definition of love. [...]

    our society benefits many, but not proportionately. Some make billions for doing nothing important, others have a more comfortable life by working 9 to 5 , some live off social programs, others suffer in the streets. We spend billions on other countries while we have homeless in our own neighborhoods. We need programs to help people be useful to society.

  12. Jumpdates says:

    I sincerely hope Americans vote to change & choose a new president who is kind & caring to all people in 2020.

  13. Jumpdates says:

    He will be impeached in the House but acquitted in the Senate. It is a shame that he is our President. He is not making America great he is trying to make Trump even greater. His disregard for the law the constitution, and the principles of democracy are appalling. He does have leadership quallities but it too bad he misuses that ability

  14. Jumpdates says:

    Best President since Reagan. Only low IQ individuals would think otherwise i.e. Un-Americans commonly referred to as Demon-Crats or Dummy-Crats. That IS the way it is.

  18. Jumpdates says:

    Well actually I am not sure about on line dating because there are so many
    scam artists, people in foreign countries looking to rip you off and just phony people just looking for fun at another person expense.
    There is a name for this type of behavior, it’s called Schadenfreude is that that
    of pleasure we feel in other people’s misfortunes.

  19. Jumpdates says:

    Well actually I am not sure about on line dating because there are so many
    scam artists, people in foreign countries looking to rip you off and just phony people just looking for fun at another person expense.

  20. Jumpdates says:

    Yes and I agreed

  21. Jumpdates says:

    Keep social distance

  22. Jumpdates says:

    Yes, Dating websites is one of the good things to do in times of covid-19.

  23. Jumpdates says:

    This is a good idea. That way no one will need not to worry.

  24. Jumpdates says:

    Online dating is a good resource to get your mind off the stress of being home all the time and social distancing… But because of scams, lies, and fake profiles there’s no need to take things seriously… Unless you truthfully know & trust this person. I like talking to many people except before anything serious/relationship I “need to” physically see and talk to them, so I know exactly who it is I’m connecting with. I will try this, but hopefully I can find a true love in reality that I can see, touch, communicate with, love, and who will do the same things back.

  25. Jumpdates says:

    Yes it’s true to be solo on social media this days. I enjoy it too

  26. Jumpdates says:

    Yes,online dating is perfect for those who are shy and likes to date date without letting anyone knows who and how two partners get along so greatly.I so much enjoy it .

  27. admin says:

    I’m enjoying the online dating sites during this time.

  1. Jumpdates says:

    there could be some factors causing that

  2. Jumpdates says:

    I think America is the most creative nation there is. We will always strive to find new things and solutions to problems.

  3. Jumpdates says:

    People have gotten lazy these

  4. Jumpdates says:

    We as humans fail to think ahead that’s why we lack certain criteria.

  5. Jumpdates says:

    It’s high time we become more creative

  6. Jumpdates says:

    We need to be creative and opportunist

  7. Jumpdates says:

    it high time we be creative

  8. Jumpdates says:

    Hmm I guess I can say this argument is abit on 50-50, there are definately more increasing numbers of consumers just there are also increasing numbers of creators

  9. Jumpdates says:

    Jimmy507

    Well as a nation becomes more advance that seem to happen sometimes .

  10. Jumpdates says:

    Jimmy507

    When a nation becomes more advance that seem to happen sometimes in country like the USA but it is unknown if this condition can be reversed .

  11. Jumpdates says:

    America is a great country to live in that’s why all these people from other countrys want to come here

  12. Jumpdates says:

    social media is can and will destroy happy families wreak marriages I think it should be outlawed along with the rest of the world wide web

  13. Jumpdates says:

    this site is a great site where you can find your dream

  14. Jumpdates says:

    the best ever site i love this its connecting people together for totally free

  15. Jumpdates says:

    we really consume than what we produce or create that is correct

  16. Jumpdates says:

    I believe that we will over this someday

  17. Jumpdates says:

    Its all good with me

  18. Jumpdates says:

    Well can’t say much about that because is somehow complicated

  19. Jumpdates says:

    Right on, right on.

  20. Jumpdates says:

    Society has become more reliant on computers and less reliant on his fellow man or own intuition

  21. Jumpdates says:

    Society has become more reliant on computers and less reliant on his fellow man or own intuition our children don’t know how to write cursive or the pledge of allegiance

  22. Jumpdates says:

    I think our society tody is more consumer than productive.

  23. Jumpdates says:

    Yes I agree with you on that, but the world itself is full of misery

  24. Jumpdates says:

    Yes ,our society is more consumers than a creators.

  25. Jumpdates says:

    Yes our society is more consumers than a creators.

  26. Jumpdates says:

    yeah i agree on that due to what’s really going on at the present

  27. Jumpdates says:

    Yes, I believe so. I also believe this trend is by design. Jobs, more so everyday, require much less creativity than 50 years ago. Employees really have very few decisions to make. most every possible situation is outlined in a manual somewhere and if it doesn’t fit, we just refuse to give service.

  28. Jumpdates says:

    The Lord gave us all the ability to have creative imaginations and the hearts to guide us towards success and agression to get things done, but the bad part is Satan tries hard to take over our minds. Now God wants us all to be soldiers and stay strong and vigilant through everything. Except there are trials, tribulations, & temptations to throw us off so it’ll be more difficult to stay on track. There are those that do make it, others struggling, most have been giving up, and the people like me who are playing catchup. We all have our own skills, but how and when we choose to use them can determine where we’re at in life, either good, bad, or right inbetween.

  29. Jumpdates says:

    I agree with this statement

  30. Jumpdates says:

    This is a good article

  31. Jumpdates says:

    Great article this is!

  32. Jumpdates says:

    oh yeah nice article and i hope to see more

  33. Jumpdates says:

    I’ve been saying this for years

  34. Jumpdates says:

    very close to our hearts ,but more scammers are violated its main idea quality

  35. Jumpdates says:

    best way to reach the world

  36. admin says:

    Very good article

  37. admin says:

    Yes this is very true

  38. admin says:

    Kids are creative as long as they have less or more things to play with. I know because my neighbors son had, little to no things but could create something fun of of it but, if he had more he would have more options but the creativity would be less as he would get the things he likes and discard the things he doesn’t like. There has to be a balance.

  39. admin says:

    I don’t believe our society has diminished creativity, in fact were leading the way to a better future.just ask china. They’re capitalizing on our intellectual properties..sigh!
