Everyday we overhear pointless conversations between either a couple of people or a larger group. The topics include hair, makeup, parties and other shallow topics. I myself am not immune to the seductiveness of these topics however as I go along in my day I find that I overhear more shallow conversations then I partake in. Some conversations I have heard make my braincells die and most of these conversations are not only shallow but filled with completely self centered comments such as 'My hair looks ugly' 'My boyfriend hates me' 'I have no money'. Most people, especially high school and college students are focused on what they can do to help themselves and make their lives better. Not many watch the news or pay attention to the heartaches of others outside of their immediate cliques and circles.
All of these shallow conversations are subjective as they all have to do with 'me, me, me'. We need to change these conversations from such subjective points of view to more objective ones that deal with current events and the issues of today.
This is the dilemma of our generation and is one that will require more of an attempt to solve than Global Warming, Economic Collapses or our enormous debt because it will need to be fixed first since no one will know about the other dilemmas unless they get their heads out of the clouds and pay attention.
