Society instills its expectations of how people should act from a young age, defining a person's mannerisms, values, and personality. Each generation continues to spread this cycle of societal guidelines. Society tends to ignore the individual in favor of idyllic images and responsibilities people abide by. Family is often the cause of social…

The ingrained urge to designate identities and particular behaviors into varying sects and categories still causes problems within any community.
