An Original Thought: Boys, Girls, and Society.

In a society where originality seems to be set at a premium. Where originality itself is just a descended form of conformity, and where it begs the question of whether or not it really exists.
The same society that sells youth to the elderly and being old to the young.
Quick fixes are all rage. If you're small you need to get bigger, if you're big you need to get smaller, how can anyone possibly be happy with the way they are. 
One night stands are in fashion, one love for one life is a thing of the past.
We still call people of colour minorities regardless of the fact they make up the majority of the world population.
Does anyone wonder why on a global map that Europe is always in the centre despite the fact the Earth is round and therefore has no set positions to start and end.
When did dancing become the equivalent to sex in public.
At what point did marriage go from 'til death do you part'  to having prenups in the event things don't work out.
Girls will say things to garner a reaction, to elicit an emotion or a simple plea for attention.
Boys will say things to start fights, avoid fights or honestly, for no reason at all.
Using Google is a skill.
Since when did screening your call become a necessity. Wasn't there once a time where you could answer a phone without knowing who was going to be on the other end.
