To be honest, I somehow think that the ideas of apathy and things like not dreaming stem from a society that is growing stagnant. Some are fighting back ferociously against this, the people that create art, study science, and attempt to gain a better understanding of the world around us. However I think that at this point in time, the mass of the American public was raised to be leaning towards the apathetic, or in a better sense, they have been mass produced. The media that we are surrounded by with things such as Call of Duty, or even such simple things as having our refrigerators fully stocked all the time makes the American public uncaring. We have no need to dream because what more could we want? Living in the American dream has become a place where there is no need to go outside of the box. there is no need to be creative when things are being placed right in front of you. Now I'm only saying that there is no direct NEED to dream. Others CHOOSE to dream. There will always be dreamers out there, but in my opinion, we are now making less and less of those dreamers. Once America begins to decline at a noticeable rate there will be panic, and only after that point will we again begin to dream as a country together. All I know is that I'm going to keep trying my best to have a little class and culture.
