Society has shifted into this belief that discussion should be a battle of supremacy rather than a compromise. Intentional inferiority has become a normality in relationships, social media dominance, and current events topics in America.

The need for supremacy has misplaced the purpose of an argument/discussion rather than finding a needed solution. It’s impact on relationships, opinion on social media, and current event topics are damaging. Every day, this mentality digs a deeper hole. Action is needed soon to find a common ground before it is too late.

Rather than doing what is best for the kid; many couples create a toxic environment of parental supremacy in custody court cases. In fact, Clemente (2019) noted that, purposely lying in custody disputes to sabotage the other party rose to 12% compared to the original 3% in a non-custody dispute. (pg. 2). The ideology of being the better parent skews the real intent, and the bashing of each other is damaging to the innocent kid. This behavior replaces the solution for a path that plays tug-of-war on the boy/girl’s mentality.

Opinions instantly turned into facts, and massive hatred is spewed onto a certain individual which can be lethal. A toxicity is presented by not siding with the majority belief, and harming the belief of free speech for every generation. If someone’s belief is opposing to a major party; the lengths of vile actions and discriminating is unprecedented. Even a term/fad is associated with the opposer. Social media will call for them to be “cancelled,” which is essentially to be rejected and hated on any of his/her opinions moving forward. It is like a public culture execution for having a belief. This is not a productive solution, and presents a society with no individuality.

Abrams (2018) shared that, elementary kids in schools today are trained on how to deal with the threat of mass shootings. (pg. 30). Giving a glimpse of how realistic this topic is for the youth of this generation. Instead of worrying about recess or homework; they are instructed on how to not be murdered. Constant murders are happening at main places for a person's daily commute and still without an answer for the matter. One side of the parties wants decision “A” and other wants decision “B”, and with this nothing is getting solved. The left and right seem to fight for who’s belief is better rather than what each can do for a safer nation. Instead of compromising for a needed solution in decision “C,” there is a battle of political dominance resulting into a standstill.
