Example-4: Miscellaneous


On giving a further thought to the prevalence of complacency amongst people, I realized that it wasn’t entirely true to blame only the house wives. We, youngsters belonging to the Gen-X also show complacency in many aspects.

Am not saying that it is true for everyone in this generation. In fact, I think the entire population is divided. There are a few who have accepted defeat and lost all hope. They feel that India has a lot of negatives like illiteracy, corruption, red-tapism, poverty, etc and the future is only dark. There is nothing much the country can do with people not willing to change. They feel that its almost impossible to change the mindset of so many people and make them work in sync to make India reach greater heights. Then there are some who actually feel that there can be a bright future for India but are complacent enough to let the politicians bring about the change.

Not only regarding the future of the country, but many in our generation dont even care to bother & voice their concern about a sub-standard product or service they received. This is mainly to avoid the long procedures in the existing bureaucracy and the feeling of complacency that nothing would change even if they did complain. This complacency leads to the company maintaining the same quality and customer receiving the same.

Also when you are throwing a party, to reduce the risk you tend to go to a well known, previously tried out restaurant/café/disc. Also, once there, you would avoid complaining about the sub-standard quality of food or service as its you own party and you would want the thing to go as smoothly as possible.

I haven’t mentioned the examples of television serials, cigarettes or such other things because they are more of addictions than normal things.
