Since I am taking a look at society from the past centuries and comparing them to modern-day society, I think it would be appropriate to explain what our society looks like from my perspective.

Here are the main changes in regards to the readings. Women are completely equal; there will probably be one as our next president. Money still runs society; all politics go through money.

With that being said the world we live in today has many flaws. For one, although there is equality throughout, there are still exceptions of people and places who don’t accept certain religions, races, beliefs, etc. Anti-Semitism, Racism, gender equality, etc. are all still issues around the world. Crime is still a big issue (including murder) as is terrorism. Lastly, surprise (surprise), the world still runs through money. Everything being done, from entertainment, politics, business, issues, etc. all start and end with money. All of this, forces there to still be a social hierarchy, which is getting uglier.

I could go on for hours about this, but for the sake of my sanity, here is my last point: The most disappointing thing about our society is the expectations and assumptions people face. The world we live in today still looks down upon people. Every social class looks down on the one under them, expecting the worst.
