Society Today

Something has been bugging me for awhile that I have only recently been able to put into words. There has been a drastic increase in the 'Me' culture. Now the question is what do I mean by 'Me' culture. I don't mean individuality, I don't mean standing up for yourself and I don't mean fighting against injustice. These seem to be the themes of the day, but why? We live in a society that says that they embrace our differences, but do they really?

Newspeak

If any of you have seen the Word of the Day on Dictionary.com you might have seen my inspiration for this post. The word of the day is:

newspeak
[noo-speek, nyoo-]
noun 

(sometimes initial capital letter)an official or semiofficial style of writing or saying one thing in the guise of its opposite, especially in order to serve a political or ideological cause while pretending to be objective, as in referring to “increased taxation” as “revenue enhancement.”
