The empty materialism that is damaging American society

Explanation:

F.Scott Fitzgerald's Great Gatsby is a novel from 1925. Set in 1922, in the fictional neighborhoods of 'West Egg' and 'East Egg' ( in real life, Great Neck and Port Washington), the novel portrays the decade known as The Roaring Twenties.

During this period of economic growth, people spent their money on expensive clothes and automobiles. This is also characteristic of the characters in the novel - they are convinced that material goods will make them happy. Materialism is the attention given to material wealth rather than spiritual or moral values. As seen in the novel, increased spending does not really make the characters happy. Although Daisy lives in a luxurious house, she feels alone and is dissatisfied with her life. Similarly, Gatsby throws fancy-dress parties, but is a sad man that tragically dies.

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.
