I've always lived in city environments. People can be mean. But you can change society. You MUST change society. It has to be. A society that does grow becomes extinct. Take Sparta or the Roman Empire for example. Smoking was advertised as the cool thing to do and was available is all restaurants. How is smoking viewed and accepted today. Government raises the taxes more and more until people can't afford to smoke. Is it still "cool" by the majority standard? How many restaurants still have a smoking section compared to 40 years ago. Approximately 60 years ago women could even vote, 50 African Americans weren't equal. Around 70 years ago Japanese Americans were put in American concentration camps on the west coast. Online bullying is getting legal and court attention. This may seem like a long time to you, but all of this can occur in one persons life time. What will change during your lifetime? How will the world look when you reach the end of your days? I'm excited to see what tomorrow brings.

We can change society, but you can't change people. If you get what I mean, people meaning the individual. Yeah, socially smoking has gone down, racism has gone down, sexism....etc. but it still exists. I'm not saying that the world can't and won't change. But at the micro scale, the individual level, it Will remain. And being an asshole is a personal trait I'm pretty sure lol lol
