Modern Day Influence

The day to day interactions and reactions of humans are becoming more and more influential. The influencing ability given to us through both the exponential human population growth and modernization of communication has man-kind on a level of worldwide influence as never before seen. The globalization effect allows people around the globe to share their ideals with everyone else on a scale that is larger than ever and it is growing. Charles Dickens talked of the influence that one human can have over another in Great Expectations. He used Miss Havisham to show the influence that people can have on each other. Miss Havisham had an unfortunate situation happen to her, basically her fiance left her on their wedding day, and she felt so hurt by this that she raised another girl teaching her to hate men in order to one day have revenge on men. In the end she realizes what she did and apologizes for it. The bottom line is that humans have the capability to influence each other, especially the always influential youth, and we need to treat this power with respect. The influences that a person can have through modern technology are becoming more prominent and rapid. The world is at our finger tips now. Anyone can establish a blog, website, email account, etc. and network with people all over the globe that feel like you do. This is an amazing power that we have and it needs to be realized that we have the capability to influence so many others. The modern day influence of man will become more and more a topic in the press as our ability to network influencing each other, as well as our ecological environment, continues to increase.
