why are people so angry and impatient these days?

Question

seriously.

Answer 1

i think society has made us impatient (fast food, fast cars, faster internet speeds)

Answer 2

Because our society has this unspoken "mantra"of ME ME ME, NOW NOW NOW.

People have become obsessed with a quicker, faster pace, however there are some things that can't change that quickly. Example: There will always be a line at the movies, at the airport, at Wal-Mart, but we can find out any bit of information we need in a matter of seconds via the internet, and because we can get some things instantly, we want everything to be granted to us in that same manner.

Answer 3

It's the world in which we live. People wake up daily as if some one pooped in their rice crispies and then take it out on the rest of us, as if we deserve it. Plus we are not raising our kids to be patient or kind to others. It's like being rude and nasty is the norm these days. It's sucks if you ask me. People need to start waking up on the sunny side of life, cause I'm getting a little fed up with all these nasty people everywhere.

Answer 4

Britons see Americans as cruel, arrogant: poll
London: Britons see America as a cruel, vulgar, arrogant society, racially divided, crime-ridden, obsessed with money and led by an incompetent president, according to a newspaper poll published today.

As Americans prepare to celebrate the 230th anniversary of their independence tomorrow, the Briton's opinion about them has touched an all time low.

Only 12 per cent of Britons trust Americans to act wisely on the global stage, 'The Daily Telegraph' poll revealed. This is half the number who had faith in the Vietnam-scarred White House of 1975.

A massive 83 per cent of those questioned said that the United States doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks.

US President George W Bush fared significantly worse, with just one per cent rating him a "great leader" against 77 per cent who deemed him a "pretty poor" or "terrible" leader.

More than two-thirds who offered an opinion said America is essentially an imperial power seeking world domination. And 81 per cent of those who took a view said Bush hypocritically championed democracy as a cover for the pursuit of American self-interests.

US policy in Iraq was similarly derided, with only 24 per cent saying they felt that the US military action there was helping to bring democracy to the country.

A spokesman for the American embassy said that the poll's findings were contradicted by its own surveys. "We question the judgment of anyone who asserts the world would be a better place with Saddam still terrorizing his own nation and threatening people well beyond Iraq's borders.

Because with the quick technology and such, it bothers everyone that some things are just slow, which of course makes everyone angry.
