This is a topic that will always be current, modern, and timely. At this point in our lives, the monstrous experience that is college, we are thrust into a sea of people and forced to consider how to interact with a diverse mob of people. Before education at such a large level, I had never encountered so many jerks in my entire life. I’ve become almost immune to the drunk guys trolling about on weekends, and have stopped listening to anyone sporting a backwards ball cap, wearing an Ed Hardy T-shirt, or chewing brown mystery tobacco. Ultimately, college is the time in our lives where we’re finding out that sometimes you have to face a douche in the form of your boss or professor and that there’s really nothing you can do to avoid it. Sometimes they make life unfair, and our parents can’t fix it.
Political leaders act like pricks, as Muammar Ghadafi bans internet in Libya, the douche move that launched a revolution. Our celebrities act like it’s ohkay to interrupt a young girl accepting an award and tell the world that someone else deserves it more. Soccer fans offend people around the globe with inappropriate and disrespectful sound bytes. More and more, the rigid manners of our grandparent’s generation are rotting away to reveal a very ugly facet of human nature.
I want to communicate to my peers that we can’t just ignore the problem, and that one day very soon we’ll have to assume the very dangerous adult responsibility of facing it and reducing the damage. Ultimately, “haters gonna hate”.
