So I was watching some of the movies Faces of Death or w.e. it is and it started to make me think. Also seeing a thread today… So I wanted to know people thoughts on something. As every generation grows, do you think they are more desensitized? More and more I see people who do not care about the loss of a life unless it involves them in some way. Some will even say hurtful things w.o. thinking twice about it. This doesn't just come down to this game but people in general about any issue we see. It could be a person knowing of someone passing in your neighborhood, state, or even another country. If you see this and agree with this… why do you think this happens? Is it because games, movies, music, or even how people are raised? What is your opinion of your growing generations?
Re: People I hate the people of newer generations. They're stupider, arrogant, lazy and think they know everything and are right. Generation is a horrible word.
Re: People Most likely through life experience depending on where they live, family and friend relationships.
Re: People It happens mainly because of society and culture, like pop culture, the things that are on tv and mimicked in every day life as being a realistic thing, when it's not. For example, new generations think they're smarter than older generations. Kids think because they have an iPhone with easy access to the internet that they are smart. Whereas, I bet they can't even do simplistic mathematical equations in their head and use their iPhone to add 7 plus 7.
Eh i only used that word bcuz it is kinda like a group area. Say like your grandparents vs you. Times are all dif and I think as time goes ofc we all face new challenges or changes.
Re: People Society..quickly changes and kids adapt, newer generations = younger parents, it will be an ongoing cycle. My 13 yr old sister is sooooooo much more 'mature' and updated than I was...started wearing makeup sooner, going through changes sooner, wears all the new styles. It's kind of unfair
Re: People See people always say things like this, but who is the one who raised us, and who is the ones who are current raising more? There just leaving is a big mess for us to fix when they grow up, this is just the society we grew up in. I get it's wrong, but I do not think it's much of our fault as people always say.
Re: People But tbh I think the world is becoming more sympathetic and accepting with all the young kids ... .
desensitized = less likely to feel shock or distress at scenes of cruelty, violence, or suffering by overexposure to such images. My question comes down to do ppl feel less caring i guess you could say, about death and/or violence unless it involves them directly? Does people get more desensitized as each generation goes?
I really don't think it is just kids that are disobedient. Most ppl react to someone the same way kids do. You can even tell a grown person the best way to handle things or what to do but they think differently. So they will do what they want in the end. Hence why I think ppl say they will just have to learn on their own or learn the hard way.
Re: People Toy guns... Toy soldiers.... War movies.... Etc. Look what we surround ourselves with... Emotionless... To say the least. Also, in Africa, for the geographical mags and publicity, America provides the citizens with guns. As a scope perspective, they do not know what they are posing for or for whom, but that violence is to glamorized because they're being photographed. Violence is hyped and glamorized ~ people become less involved in it's process, especially with someone holding a gun and smiling. Sends off the wrong message. If anyone's 13 and below, I probably hate them. Heck, I hated Piers Morgan when he talked about guns on his show.
Re: People Ok, back on topic ... Yes, people are becoming to care less and less about death unless it affects them directly. Why? Cause death is glamorized.
Re: People It shouldn't, but it does. I blame tv for most of the worlds problems. Especially the news. Take the Boston Marathon bombings for example.. The news anchors were more concerned with capturing and then killing the two bombers than the hundreds of people that died from their actions. Death was shown as positive victory. Sure people cared about the people who died, to a certain extent, but most importantly people were wanting to see the bad guys die too.
Re: People Honestly, I think you're wrong and, I'm not just saying that to argue with you. If anything, people have become too sensitive. I know that in Australia, they were trying to bring in a rule where when, children played sport there was no 'winners' or 'losers.' Apparently, they don't want children to get upset. I mean c'mon, do you want to wrap them up in any more bubble wrap. Then, when they grow up and 'lose' at something they'll be outraged. I think that's just sad. I know growing up as a kid, if I didn't win my football matches of course I'd be upset but, my parents taught me that losing isn't always bad and, just told me to try harder next time. People are even over sensitive on this app. It's apparently illegal to disagree with someone's opinion on PIMD and, if you do you're classified as a hater. I'm disagreeing with you right now OP, and I'm not doing it just to be negative, I'm doing it because I just genuinely disagree with your opinion and I've given you reasons as to why. In terms of death, a lot of people grieve differently. Personally, I've lost people close to me and I've not shed a tear. Not because I'm a heartless bitch, but because I have different ways of dealing with death. I don't think it makes me insensitive nor, do I think those who cry a lot about it are too sensitive. We all grieve differently. Who's to say one way is right and the other way is wrong. Basically, I'm saying people need to put on there big boy/girl panties and grow up.
