The Changing trend of Social Life

‘Change is the law of life’ as quoted by John F Kennedy, indeed from the day we are born , the day we step into our teenage to we get into adulthood and so forth, the social life revolving around us takes many  spins. The pace with which we adjust, adapt and maintain our relationship with persons as according to our comfort level shapes our entire scheme of Social life. Social life can also be strictly viewed as to people we meet on regular basis and share a relationship be as a friend, mentor, acquaintance.  
Social Life is not a new topic but can be put as a hot potato, the way the society changes and moulds itself so does the social life changes its outfit. In the earlier times much before the foundations of the modern society, social life was much restricted to gathering in its primitive form. As the early society was predominantly dominated by the male members, social life was majorly on the male part of the society. Travelling a little further into time when female part of the society started to gain more recognization in the picture of social life, the social life yet again enclave newer terms and adapted to female participation. Social life on general basis cannot be a stagnant.
The traditions which we follow and culture to we belong are the draws the lines of our social life, a custom a practice followed in a particular region holds the same stance. Many Countries has its own way of executing the freedom to which people can interact for ex Arab States, Western Countries, eastern countries, Asia , etc. These parameters are influential in one’s life and shape the social life. Liberation of thought process which again helps in constructing society flexibility helps in defining the social life.      
Teenage is the most volatile part of one’s life, teenagers sense new feelings, emotions and a completely different behavior from childhood, it’s the first step towards ones social life and a  major part of life i.e adulthood.  The first change of social life begins with the teenage, we came across bonds that we make with new people and perform it to the desire of its significance to us. Scientifically it has been proved body starts to change and hormones are released which embodies all the different emotions we carry. Thus proper care and attention should be kept by one so as to one drop into the healthy and correct part of social life. Stepping into adulthood is the most important part that sculpts our social life. This part includes High School, College , Occupation and so on. This age include many important life events both the ups and down as a part of life which indirectly supports the bridge of one’s behavior and attitude towards the people which he interacts.
Now coming on to the point of changing nature of the Social Life. The world which we live in today is tangled bush. There are wide array of complexities which we deal on regular basis. Competition has today taken the world driving force and as humans being adaptive have adapted this attribute of the world as its own personal factor. The pure cut in emotions and compassion for the fellow human being has slowly loosing its importance to this new greater rule of this world i.e Competition. Friends are also taken as competitors and every bit of our utilities are absorbed and these as our benefits sometimes cross the fundamentals of friendship which causes distress in personal life. Social life are now being harnessed and tempered to fulfills personal greed and targets. The evil behavior  which was once a taboo in now a common practice. Relationships now are held by weak forces of bonds and are easily build and dismantled in a very short period of time. The issue of Social life is thus very important as these sudden and drastic changes brings friction and instability for the young and unprepared class of the society. The bottom line lies with are we ready to adapt as quick as the situation demands ? Every individual has its own tolerance limit and adaptability factor for the social life which he/she is a part. In the end social life for human being is very important as human beings are social animals, but a moral and ethical structure should first be installed so that each individual can tackle with the harshness with which he/she builds his/her own Social life
