Human behavior has changed as a result of modernity. People used to trust each other in traditional societies, and everyone was a friend. People encouraged a sense of community and banded together in times of personal, community, or family crisis. Even when it came to lending something to a neighbor, they did so without fear of retaliation.
Modernity has resulted in an increase in population, obesity, lack of dignity and reputation, and a lot of toxic cultures. People used to protect their virginity, but nowadays people will look at you like an inexperienced individual if you only have a few sexual interactions. Everywhere you go, people are using gadgets and doing useless things all day long. People just seem to forget who they are and what they should be, especially men in this society.
In this article, we will help you to be aware of the toxic cultures of this modernity so you can wake up to reality.
Blaming Your Parents
One of the most toxic aspects of modernity is blaming your parents for everything bad that happens to you. Your parents messed up a little bit, no one comes out of childhood unscathed, we don’t all enter adulthood with the same starting point, and that’s something a mature adult deals with and moves on regardless.

The truth is that you can either continue to be a child to your parents and blame them for everything they do wrong, or you can start acting like an adult yourself. And begin right where you are each and every day.
Sexualizing Children
In this modernity, it was crazy how the framing of children in advertising, marketing, and fashion is completely acceptable by society. It’s a mystery why three-year-old children wear high heels. When you stop and think about it, even imposing suggestive romances between two young children in Valentine’s Day advertising is creepy.
Little girls and boys do not need to be groomed to fill suggestive adult relationships with each other, nor do they need to wear short skirts or tight-fitting clothes to be more attractive.
Overtime
Overtime was one of the most toxic aspects of modernity; in many large cities, if you’re not doing overtime, you’re not working hard enough; overtime has become part of what is required to gain recognition and be considered for a promotion. We’re sure you’ve all encountered a toxic work environment in which anyone who dares to leave when their work is finished rather than waits until the boss leaves is chastised as being uncommitted to their work.

Many work contracts even include a minimum number of overtime hours that must be worked before overtime is paid, which is frequently more than 60 hours per work week. This long and continuous work week does not inspire creativity, diligence, or enthusiasm for getting the job done; rather, it appears to favor seat warming over performance.
Accepting Meritocracy
Modernity tells us that if they have the talent and energy, anyone can make it. The disadvantage of this ostensibly liberating and beautiful idea is that any perceived lack of success is interpreted as a sure sign of a lack of talent or laziness, rather than, as in the past, an accident or misfortune. If those at the top deserve every bit of success, those at the bottom must surely deserve every bit of failure. A meritocratic society transforms poverty from a problem to evidence of damnation, and those who fail from unfortunate to losers.
The Fake Role Models
Because of modernity, we believe that international supermodels and TikTok content creators are great role models, and many children look up to them, even though they are not. What new stupid TikTok trends are they releasing for us to follow? How did they make it possible for us to feel better, see further, and think deeper? They are simply driving us insane by following the stupid trends that they have created.
There are many great models we can look up to, such as Jordan Peterson, David Goggins, Tom Platz, and others. That you could gain a great deal of wisdom and knowledge about living a better life and succeeding.
The Social Media
One of the major issues that we saw with modernity was the normalization of excessive use of gadgets, and no one is even attempting to address this issue in our society. The massive amount of screen time people get from the time they wake up until they go to bed. We’re enslaved to screens, and we don’t just mean your phone and laptop.
This is now considered socially acceptable behavior. Screens are popping up everywhere we go: on the train, in the taxi, in the elevator, while we wait in line at the store, and in our children’s schools. To place screens in front of us at every turn without our permission. Our lives are being infiltrated by this toxic mess of digital messaging.
Wastefulness
The most persistent problem with modernity is the normalization of wastefulness. Many people are over consumers because they believe that everything can be easily replaced and that even if it isn’t broken, we should replace it. We always chose to replace it rather than repair it, and it was acceptable to throw a picnic blanket in the trash because you didn’t want to carry it anymore
.All of this carefree living is causing a climate crisis, and we’re all part of it. Clean up your habits and become more resourceful in looking after what you have, and there will always be enough to go around.
Always remember to stay traditional and avoid doing all of the toxic things that the modern world requires of you. Reject all of the temptations and pleasures that this fictional content on the internet offers. Always try to wake up to reality and stay focused on your goals. Don’t let any idiots who have been eaten by modernity let you down.
Quit using social media in favor of developing good reading and writing habits, learning a new language, or exploring nature. Regularly go to the gym and develop good habits that will help you achieve both failure and success. Remember what Aziz “Zyzz” Shavershian said: “We’re all going to make it, bruh.
