In modern day 21st century, society has become a mixture of indecisive decisions made by individuals. These choices lead to various world-renown events, and one of the main events that humans result to within the general public is school shootings. School shootings are recurring events that are seen to bring out the “flaws” in civilization.

Compassion and consideration are found through human interaction. Materialistic items can add a void to the capability of understanding other human beings. Interviewer Nichole Saidi goes into depth about the topic when she states, “Concentrating too much on technology and the self harms the ability to understand other’s emotions” (Saidi).
