The Microwave. Many United States homes and businesses have a microwave oven. We see the microwave as a quick and simple way to prepare our food. Some have used this to describe Americans' outlook on life. Americans want what they want when they want it and exactly how they want it and it better be fast.
Having this mentality is an issue. We expect for our leaders in business and in government to make their impact immediately and we assume any immediate results are affected by the person in charge. It seems that we are constantly prejudging elected officials prematurely. Now true many politicians deserve the quick criticism, but expecting immediate results then electing someone new to take their place will never get anything accomplished. Even in work we expect because we have our degree we will be managers and directors with high paying salaries and flexible work schedules. Television, social media, film, and improper use of the internet are ways we live in a microwave.
I think many of us need to stop living in the microwave. Slow things down. Take time to do things correctly and they will be better and more enjoyed.
