Amusing Ourselves to Death CH.3

As i started reading this chapter I realized Mrs. Fletcher was right. This is the kind of reading you have to keep re-reading to understand better. It shows how things are different now then before. In the begining it was stating on pg 32 how back then the bible was in all households and it made me think well that seems to me that everyone was religious. But chapter ends with saying how Reverend George Whitefield is preaching in Philadelphia to a crowd of ten thousand and it seems that they dont accept christ. I understand everyone has there own opinion in everything but its just here where i wonder how, when, and why things started changing, because its not only this that things have changed but things have changed in so many ways. I think we have grown now to where people in general focus on the wrong things. Family i have a feeling was more important a long time ago than it is now to us teens. My parents say its just a stage but all we care about is looking good, wearing whats "in" or hanging out all the time with friends. Lately I've been thinking like that, but i have days like today where i spend quality time with just my family and i really enjoy it. I feel happy with my life, even though I don't own all the cute clothes i wish i could, or I don't go to all the places i wish i were allowed to. I realize im getting off topic from this chapter but this is the thought it brought to me. I think we take things for granted that we should appreciate. Am i the only one that got something like this off this chapter? or if u havent read the chapter am i the only one who thinks this way?
