| Introduction | I am a writer with a distinct interest in the decline of any possible culture in our society and the enormous mass following towards pop culture, the rat race and the misfortune of classifications based on income level rather than intelligence and upbringing. I have a deep curiosity and interest towards diverse cultures and the covert wars between the socio-economic classes that find trivialities in both sex, race and sub-culture (like counter-cultures, which don't work) in order to find a niche of excuses to explain away the plight in Modern American Society. I am also interested in the dynamics of generations and the four archetypes that reoccur. |
