Conformity.
In the world today, students are expected to be well behaved and follow all rules necessary to rise to the expectations of the school and the world. Students are expected to conform and become something they are not. The fact that students may have two different personalities because of schools and its rules and punishments. All different countries teach students how to think, act and how to follow all rules and expectations given to them. Rules begin when a person is still young, elementary students begin to follow all instructions but in return are awarded, as they grow older it is expected with no award or prize in return. Students lives change as they no longer have freedom and must follow rules at all costs or punishments may occur. Many people argue that schools have rules for the safety and well being of the students and to control them. It may be true that by setting rules and punishments students may behave, listen bettrt and become responsible. Although it is true that student may have better attitudes while following rules like paying more attention and keeping the students controlled. Nevertheless, following the rules takes away from having their own opinion and having their own beliefs. During school students cannot voice their own opinion or what they think. Schools take away the first amendment and students change into someone they are not. It is easy to see that students conform because of school rules and the punishments that follow. By setting rules students conform and cannot think as much as they would like to. The right of freedom of speech applies a lot during school, or in society, for example, in “Farhenheit 451”, Clarisse is a seventeen year old girl who is supposedly odd because she thinks differently from others. In the excerpt the protagonist, Monatag says, “you think to many things,” (Bradbury ¶7). And because of that he finds her strange. Sometimes by voicing ther own opinion

    he conveys the perspective of human conflict as being gruesome, monstrous and full of unthinkable hardships and reveals the reality of war. He conveys this by using strong emotive verbs that make a graphic image in the mind of the reader and emphasises the pain and suffering the soldiers are going through for example in Dulce Et Decorum Est he uses the words “choking”, “guttering”, “smothering” and “drowning”. These words are disturbing and really highlight the reality of war and get his perspective across to the reader. Similarly he uses onomatopoeia and imagery to create the horrendous sights and sounds of war in the responders mind. In Anthem for Doomed Youth he uses onomatopoeia and sound imagery in the lines “Only the shuttering riffles’ rapid rattle “and “The shrill, demented choir of wailing shellssfdsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-…

    Society try's to keep people from expressing their own ideas and/or interests. Since society thinks this way, many people feel as if that is the only way to think. In the short story, The sociology of leopard man the author Logan Feys states," society tends to discourage people from expressing their unique ideas and behaving in ways that are different from their peers".

    I set high, but achievable expectations that support choices and strengthen problem solving skills. I teach my students how to take responsible for themselves as well as their learning. Newman states, “In addition to holding students to high levels of academic success, teachers must have high expectations for student behavior” (Newman, R, 2013). Since my classroom is child-centered I allow the students to develop and enforce the class rules. I believe if students feel they are involved in the mechanisms of the classroom, they will be more excited to engage and learn.…

    “Life is not made of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years, but of moments. You must experience each one before you can appreciate it.” (Sarah Breathnach). Time is a lifeless measurement of the years that one has spent on earth. One can go through life living by these lifeless minutes and never experience what life is really about. People spend every minute wishing for more time to be beautiful, to be power, to be rich. All the time in the world can pass but moments are what make life worth living. Moments are where love and wisdom are gained and without moments life is a race to the grave. Throughout Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment, Nathanial Hawthorne examines the meaning of time and moments with the chance of growing young again to experience life.…
