Divers Culture
Our generations have advanced through the corse of time. Our society has grown in many aspects such as our technology, infrastructure, and diversity of life. I believe this has caused our generation to gain the name of "open minded" compared to the many before. This generation is extremely diverse which means there is a great variety of ideas and beliefs that people go by. Many times those ways of thinking clash. That leads to conflict and disagreement. Having a way variety of believes and thoughts can considered a major upgraded from before times to some people, however the divers culture has also made our generation grow up too soon. Because of this pressure these advancements bring to our generation, it has pressured society to feel like they have to meet specific …show more content…
All of these expectations are held to teenagers, and if its not hard enough dealing with school work and family conflicts. Nowadays, children are growing up fast and faster then the previous years. You just might think that I'm blaming this generation, however I'm not saying everyone lives by these guidelines, not everybody decides to follow the dress code of a perfect person with the perfect life; but more then likely the people who do not decide to follow these rules are considered cast aways and bullied for it. I'm just speaking out about the situations that I have personally observed. I have been looked down on and casted aside for not being ‘perfect'. I realized that no one is superb and neither am I. Many teens kill themselves due to the stress to follow the idea of ‘perfect’ established by this society. Everyday more and more teens are being embolden to fall into this way of life. The ages are just going to keep reducing until our society reaches a point of no return, a point where harmful things and practices are what you are expected to do and we all just crash and burn

    Our society’s open mindedness is accredited to our feelings toward one another. We listen to what others have to say because we generally care about their thoughts and feelings. In the “modern” civilization of Brave New World the people simply do not care. They look at society as a whole and turn away from the individual. They are detached from one another and therefore are only able to think about their own well-being. In this society there is no love or understanding. To have a personal…

    In each and every one of us, there is a culture which makes us different from each other in society.

    Have you ever wondered about those few in your class who just do everything on there own, not caring what everyone else thinks about it? Those who oppose the cliques and those who think the "popular" kids are just a group of followers. If you actually get the time to look at then and get to know them you will find out that they are not just the group of "weirdoes", they live the romantic way of life, they are called the non conformists. Sounds kind of important huh? Well that is just what these kids strive not to be. They do not want to be the big time lawyers and businessmen, they do not want to be voted "best dressed" or "most popular". They just want to be themselves and be happy. You may ask yourself, well isn't that what we all want? If you think about it though, the majority of us also what to be wealthy and pretty and overall, just accepted. Well if you really were a non-conformist you wouldn't care about any of…

    With respect being held in such high regard, it seems almost bewildering that the exact opposite is a common happening to teenagers. Teenagersare most commonly known for their reputation of being extremely conceited and disrespectful. This stereotype is embedded in the minds of a vast majority of adults. Adults are usually hostile towards teenages or constantly reminding them that they’re superior in comparison. Also, it is constantly forgotten that tennagers are intelligent and have opinions that are valid, so a lot of thoughtful, and well developed opinions teenagers have are often discarded due to the fact that they fall into an age group that’s considered “too young”.…

    Society has a way of making one feel little. Advertising nowadays is spent entirely making the consumer feel incomplete without this new gadget, or without this brand of makeup. I feel like that mindset has carried over into our culture; that someone is not complete if they do not meet the standards of society. My life was spent trying to meet these norms by wearing the right clothes or watching the right television shows. I was enveloped in the fear that I was never good…

    First of all, the primary source uses many words to describe adults’ actions to indicate the oppression teenagers suffered right now. Evidence like “clean up your looks,” “watch all the things you do,” “got methods of keeping you clean” and “rip up your heads” clearly show what kind of oppression teenagers have and what they need to resist. Adults are trying to make teenagers fit the “good standards” created by them. Good teenagers should be innocent, be obedient, study hard and so on. What’s more, adults are ready to find out teenagers’ mistakes at any time so that they could guide teenagers to what they thought is the correct way. They also want to make teenagers believe that the adults’ words are all right. Teenagers who live in such environment…

    What is Conformity? Conformity is the when you exchange your individuality, your uniqueness, and your well being for the ways of society. We as teenagers today part take in this ridiculousness; even though, we say do not. Conformity has officially brainwashed today’s youth, and we no longer have the strength to think for ourselves anymore. Teenagers for some reason feel like they have the need to follow in their peers footsteps, when in reality…. we just need to be individuals! In my opinion, teenagers need to take back their uniqueness, individuality, and be themselves for a change.…

    In the "USA Today" article, titled "Are Social Norms Steadily Unraveling?" U.S. teens are described as sloppy, self-obsessed and disrespectful compared to previous generations. The article relied on a study by associate professor Jean Twenge of San Diego State University, which compared surveys from 1958 to 2001 and concluded that modern teens were much less concerned with living up to society's expectations than previous generations. However, Michael Haines of the National Social Norms Research Center, did not agree with those conclusions. According to Haines, teens are very concerned with the expectations of other teens, and those expectations can differ considerably from those of adults.…

    Teenagers are insecure, judgmental creatures. Both of these characteristics feed off of each other to establish a mess of a human being. We (teenagers) will tear someone else down in hopes of building ourselves up. One thing that has remained constant over time is the way teenagers highlight each other’s physical features, as well as how insecure they are about their own.…
