- Conformity
- ----------
-
- What is wrong with being different today? Well, I can't answer that,
- and I don't think that many people can. I can tell you that society does not
- like the free thinker or the individual spirit to be roaming around the cities
- and towns herbouts. Let me give you some examples of where lots of people
- lose their will to be different and the need to be a cog that meshes with
- the world around them.
- School beats down individuality by making all the students follow the
- same conduct. It doesn't matter what a child would like to do in school, it
- is what they have to do just to pass. "Color the sky blue, no matter what it
- looks like to you. I don't care if you are smart enough to work the math out
- in your head, put it down on paper like everyone else has to do". I can see
- rules to keep order, but the educational system we live in has so many rules
- that free thought is crushed, and anyone with the intelligence to do math in
- their head has to do it on the paper anyway. School dress codes push more
- conformity down our collective throats by making students wear clothes chosen
- not by them, but by people with ideas that are completely different than those
- possesed by students. Schools with uniforms brag about how they limit fights,
- and how it makes students more equal. They fail to see that it doesn't let
- little kids choose what they would like to wear to school. Uniforms may make
- the students look equal, and think the same, but they don't let the students
- make a statement about who they are in what they wear. Heh.
- TV. Another of those mind crushers. All the shows most widely seen
- by the youth of our country don't encourage people to think for themselves.
- 90210? Hah, when has one of those weenies ever done something that was
- original or the work of an indivdual. All of the students dress, think, and
- act alike, like some huge colony of rich lemmings (without the mass suicide).
- Think about it, that is one of the shows that teenagers watch every week, and
- now it is in syndication! What TV tells us is that if you just blend in with
- the masses and go along with the crowd, you will be much happier. TV also
- makes it look like if you think for yourself, or if you don't go with the flow,
- you are just an extra or material for a sitcom. Everyone is happier when they
- conform in the wide world of television.
- Finally we have just society in general. In addition to beating down
- the populace with TV and the school system, society also tells you that you
- have to live like this, eat this, look like this, etc to be successful and
- happy, and since most of this comes to us from the television we believe it
- without questioning the statement or its worth.
- That's it from me here. If you want to be another fucking mindless
- automaton, feel free. Remember those faceless pink drones in Pink Floys's
- "The Wall"? Just think of those as you topple head first into the meat
- grinder everyone calls society.
-
- -Compromise, Conformity, Assimilation, Submission, Ignorance, Hypocrisy,
- Brutality, The Elite, all of which are American dreams. All of which are
- American dreams....

- fastjack would like to thank Rage Against the Machine for lots of
- ideas, and Mephisto Groove for having a slower modem than I do.
