My corrections are in red and my suggestions to sound more natural are in blue/grey.


"I would have prepared this interview better" - You can also say "I would have better prepared this interview".


"It’s a pleasure for my me to interview you" - You could also say "It's my pleasure to interview you".


"What do you think about how life is in the 21st century?" - Another way to say this would be "What do you think of life in the 21st century".


"The people are losing their sensibilities" - I corrected this in a literal manner, i.e. I simply corrected the form of the words that you used. However, I'm not sure of the exact meaning you were trying to convey. Other potential corrections could be:

...the people are losing their common sense

...the people are losing touch with reality

...the people are going crazy
