Question:I was thinking of doing my OO on the fact that society is self-centered, and it's all about "me." We're selfish, greedy, always trying to impress people, etc., and we need to shape up for the younger generations. Is this too predictable, though? Please give ANY advice you can! Thanks a ton! Here's the very beginning part of it.

Me, me, me. It’s all about me. It’s always been about me. Well, not just about me. About you. About me, about you, about anyone. Everyone thinks it’s about them. And what is it? Everything.
Our society is self-centered. There’s no other way around it, it just is. Everyone is out to save their own skin, and to heck with anyone who tries to interfere! That’s how we’ve been raised, so I guess it’s not our fault. There’s no place to lay the blame, though of course we’ll all try. Because while we want everything to be about us, we don’t want that guilt and shame of admitting that it’s true.
