Because we focus on what we are doing wrong instead on what we are doing right lets face the media don't often think that the good news story will pull in the viewers but with the internet you don't need the media to spoon feed us our content we can go out there and get it for ourselves so some effort needs to be expended to find all the positives in the world but to get the negative outlook is easy. To get the good takes work any thing that is handed to us and is easy usually will keep us from seeing the positive in the world. Sure we have a long way to go but you can keep your chin up by looking back and seeing how far we have come.
IMHO I have a lot of hope that things are getting better you only have to honestly compare what is acceptable now to what was acceptable in the past to see we are learning and improving it is slow but it is going in the correct direction.
"She’s good willed, but nobody has steered her toward the right direction. She’s young and ill-experienced to know where the battle needs to be fought"
She may be young but IMHO she does know where the battle needs to be fought and just the fact that this girl and her group exists gives me huge confidence in the future of the human race if she can do what she has done at her age just imagine what she can do when she has more experience. I believe that if she were steered in the right direction she would not have as much impact as she has managed to have the seed has been planted and if there are more like her than that seed will not die.

But that's reality....as much as the kid has laudable intentions and she's right in her actions and words, the "great unwashed" haven't noticed her at all and those in the "gravy train" couldn't give a damn what she says because they're happy the way things are going.
Problem is, it's great to hear this when they're young, but what happens to the vast majority of them when they grow up. They do exactly what they railed against when they were young. Thankfully, she is one of the few that hasn't and has done some things to promote awareness of our environment.
What this society needs is a really good shake up and shock, to make people realise what's wrong and to get them to change. Quite frankly, it's not going to happen any other way as the present status quo belies.
