What event in society?

Question

What single event in society has changed you, a negative and a positive one. I am curious, I am writing a paper about this... and can think of events that have made me look at the world in a different way, and were negative. However, the last week I have been thinking of a positive one, and can not do so. Maybe, I am overlooking good events that made me who I am. I am also only 19 and have not been alive for many events.

Answer 1

Positive: The civil rights movement

Negitive: The war in Iraq

Answer 2

Its really the old addage about the sliver lining...

For example, as horrible as 9/11 was, there was a good sense of togetherness in our society in dealing with the tragedy as a group.

or when the Hurricane Katrina Hit and the government screwed the pooch, we as a society grouped together and pitched in to help our neighbors.

I think you'll see that most positive societal events are struggling past negative moments.

Answer 3

BAD
Kennedy being shot
He was trying to get us out of the war economy that the US had stayed with sense WW2. We are still in that economic madness and that's why we have to be at war ,, somewhere.

GOOD
