In revealing their answers, the participant was asked to answer last out of the group while the actors all purposely answered incorrectly.

This trend of conformity is also seen in today’s social influence.…

    We as people tend to hold onto what makes us pleased. Even from childhood we had our favorite toys of memories which we try to hold onto. We also try to hide our dissatisfactions with our lives and try to be “normal” by doing what “must” be done. According to society we “must” go to college or we “must” act one way based on labels placed onto us such as race, gender, age, socioeconomic class, and so on. We become two-faced and have two separate personalities from what we truly desire and what we believe we must do to have a stable and “normal” life.…

    In Jess Scott’s, I’m Pretty, she questions “what's the whole point of being pretty on the outside when you’re so ugly on the inside?” The perpetuation of horrid personalities has increased in our society. Over the past couple of years, our mindset has changed from everyone to me. Instead of asking ourselves what I do for that person, we ask ourselves what can that person do for me? Human beings have always been internally focused, but I attribute the intensification of personal awareness and attention to the rise in social media and how we spend the majority of our day styling our lives to seem more interesting than they are.…

    Social norms and values are implicit or explicit rules of behavior that are considered acceptable in our society. I see them as “guidelines” that influence us how should we behave, what should we say and how we suppose to live our lives in order to feel accepted, loved and have the approval of others. Therefore, individuals who do not meet society’s’ expectations often experience difficulties in their lives. For example, society often expects people to educate themselves and work in order to give back to society. For this reason, homeless people are often seen as lazy and uneducated people, who only want to take money from the government.…

In the essay “Self-Reliance” Emerson states “we but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represent.” When Emerson brings up that “we but half express ourselves” he talks about how we do not show our whole personality to others. In my opinion I think that that everyone is scared to share what they have to offer because their afraid of being judged or put down by their peers. The world today revolves around shaming others to make themselves feel better.…
