What the **** has happened to society?

Today was quite an eye opener as Salituro exposed the true perceptions and images society tries to portray through social norms.  This creates a negative view for the citizens of the republic because they form this narrow minded idea of what is considered acceptable for society's standards.  The youth are catching on quickly from a young age which scares me the most.  They are absorbing this "sick" perception on life as a sort of means to gain popularity and to aggressively persuade other peers.  Luckily I have recognized this behavior in societies role and I create my own perception through education and learning both sides in order to form an educated opinion through hard work and good character.  I am eager to view other perceptions on social norms and how it effects the rest of society.

  1. It's sad to see young kids so affected by the media. It's also sad that almost every ad is directed towards them.

  2. We really are influenced at a young age. I know that by the time I had reached 1st grade I new most of the societal norms and I had only been influenced by peers and my school for 1 year. Also, we gotta chill some time.

  3. I agree with you that it is sad that this influences people so young. Why do young kids have to judge? Why do they have to wear $100 designer jeans that they are going to grow out of in 3 months? All because of the media.

  4. I agree that it is ridiculous how the media preys on the youth and tries to make them appear a certain way.
