Think Different

In our generation being different is rare. People think change is absolutely crazy. The only kind of change that is accepted is change that is popular, everyone likes what is fake over what is real, and everyone is the same.

Since everyone constantly imitates each other, there is very little change that takes place. This is absolutely horrible everyone should think for themselves. Never depend on another person to live your life. Even when there is change like a new style or new food. Everybody still insists on copying another person. They do this because no one wants to stick out in a crowd. No one wants to be a daisy in a field of roses.

Popularity is everything to some people. There

    I think that el pachuco was a conscience of henry and i will show you some examples.el pachuco was bing his conscience because in class we sall that el pachuco gave henry a switch blade because el pachuco wanted to protect himself and not get hurt and win he took it there was a knife battle but no one die. Including what most of the other friend commented, I believe El Pachuco to be many things, most significantly as Henry’s conscience and his alter ego, but also as an omniscient narrator because El Pachuco knows everything that is going on and almost as if he controls the play and which direction the action goes and an iconic symbol to the audience he is the embodiment of the zoot suit the secret fantasy of every Chicano male youth.

    Society and people as a whole have a tendency to segregate each other. “The Lesson” written by Toni Cade Bambara, gives a perfect example of how people in society tend to segregate themselves from others. Some individuals would rather stick to living in their current situation whether it be due to the fact that it is how they were raised, or they just like it. Some cases it may be due to the people around them. Sometimes others’ do not want people to do well in life, or it can be because they are afraid to succeed in life.…

    People change and sometimes they change in a "good" or a "bad" way and a grand majority of the time people don 't notice the change until something or someone makes them look at themselves and realized they have changed. "Lord of the Flies" is the INTRICATE tale of a group constituted of some young british boys that happen to fall victim to a plane crash and end up isolated from society on a small island but after a while the boys learn to survive off of fruit and hunting a boar or two every now and then but arguments break out over who should be the leader. This later on causes a split between the boys and creates 2 groups which later on leads to an " Us Vs. Them" situation where the island is set on fire signaling a british marine officer…

    Conformity constricts creativity and therefore adhering to societies molds will leave people at the surface of their potential. Not digging deep within oneself renders a person a mere copy of everything they have absorbed. Being a copy hinders creativity; attempting to become an original while focusing on what others have created as “whats right for you” will never work out. An individuals idea has the power to trump societal expectations, if the individual has faith in themselves. To prove these ideas collective works of Steve Jobs, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Nancy Sommers will be utilized.…

    They’re a bountiful people in the nation who rather be original, while there are some people in teh universe who want to be an imitation. Additionally, from my perspective, it is better to be original than to be an imitation due to Rosa Parks standing up for her rights, as well as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. views on segregation, and my own personal experience dealing with peer pressure. First of all, Rosa Parks was a female activist who fought during the Civil Rights Movement. In Montgomery, Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement, African- Americans had to sit on the back of the bus while the whites can sit on the front of the bus. However, on her own, Rosa Parks despised the fact that she had to sit in the back of the bus.…

    Humans, by nature, have been revolutionizing their own and each others’ lives since the beginning of human interaction. We see this in the day by day schedule of almost anyone on planet Earth.

She wakes up only to go to a specialized facility where she can use tools and substances to develop and expand the knowledge of the world; all of this is done in attempts to speed the process of evolution. Furthermore, a salient part of revolutionizing is making mistakes, and even more importantly, learning from them.…

    For most people change is a big RED light for them. It is hard to digest and comprehend so they put it in the too hard basket and end up having a negative approach towards it. That’s what happened with the teachers at Wilson High where their once perfect and pristine school, now turned into a daycare for multi - racial student that were placed in their school by the government. One of the many reasons as to why Erin faced such hard criticism is because she kept challenging the school system. She challenged it in ways that no other had or even attempted to do.…

    Change is seen differently by different people. Some accept it while others deny it, depending on their values and mentality. This is seen in many places in today’s world, like political models, society’s values, and debates on environment based on science.
