Oh, you are looking for a universal element of this unforgettable story of Sherry Jackson. By doing a lot of draws, Jackson showed us the daily lives and rituals that are generally accepted in our lives. As tradition continues, we will accept it the same way Jackson Town citizens accept the lottery tradition. They do not question their morality as they are always part of their lives.
Perhaps the apartheid tradition of our country can be compared with lottery. Before the civil rights movement of the 1960s many Caucasians did not question the ethics of separating black-and-white schools, independent toilets and restaurants that handle only white people. Such discrimination is deeply rooted in our minds We are not questioning the unfairness of this situation.
There may be many practices we accept today, others will think of savage and barbarous. Jackson asked us to study our own habits, customs and customs in more detail.
I think the author is trying to say that we are trapped in tradition. Just do something in some way, especially if it works out, I will continue to do so. When the times change, we need to consider other ways and think outside the box. In addition to having to deal with the situation, you can also think and reason, you can also propose various ways to solve the problem.
"Lottery" proves the prevalence of society that refuses to change. There may be various reasons for their refusal, from ignorance to specific intuition.
No matter how you say your opponent, they do not believe us. They know themselves very well and they try to resist different things. With independent thinking and general dislike of authority, they will create a new better world or help burn it. Either way, the opponent will do what they feel is the best economic situation. Banks, financial planners, friends, and families do not know what is best for them. Only they will do it. This is good and evil. They may, of course, miss a new way to make things better, but at least they will not make bad investments based solely on the opinions of others. This is a tricky act of balancing, but there is no other way.
There are many assumptions about why the millennial generation is like this, but the author of the study believes that most people do not do it right. "People say" Oh, this is responsible for teenagers, lazy, or bored, "but I am missing a bigger trend. Children do not need to work, so they are not very interested in dating, driving, and finding jobs. Because the Millennial generation lives a relatively luxurious life, it is not in the survival mode the children of the previous generation did.
I think that trying to predict the future of the future will be in vain. It is true so. You can talk about what will happen, but "this is how things go", when people say this is going to happen, there is an authority that should not be available. It is wrong - but I think it is uncomfortable; because I do not ask for possibilities other than I imagine, this is one of the most existential business and technical matters people can do unknown.
