Society seems to be a mass powered system which manipulates what is right or important; I have my own take on society depending on how I'm affected by society growing up and what values our parents instill upon me. Since I grew up rejected by society, disliked by most due to my race my view upon society was thus morphed in a negative way. As a kid I didn't quite understand that aspect of people that instinctively ostracizes those who are different than them, and I only truly realized it when I looked back at my childhood when I knew more of the world. .
I didn't have many friends growing up since I was "weird ", however as I grew up I started to realize how much of a blessing that was. Because I was ostracized I was able to appreciate the more important things in life and come to terms with the way society affected my life. Society beckons reform and forces people to present themselves in a manner that is acceptable, and because of that we have become mongrels who are only interested in pleasing others and gaining their acceptance. I was just never afraid to be myself and I suppose growing up all everyone wanted was to fit in to what society defined as normal. It was something special to not be influenced by others. We are shaped by what society wants us to be, and what society deems as "ok " is constantly changing. Many aspects of society change based on human evolution, yet many things have not changed since they are shaped by human nature. And human nature has not changed since Homo sapiens became self-aware of their own existence. .
I've become well aware of how society operates and the positives and negatives society brings upon everyday life, though I am displeased with it, I learned to not reject negative experiences. Rather I take away everything I can from a negative experience and make it a part of me. By doing this I become a better person and a better judge of character by learning from my past mistakes, I utilize the core values I've learned growing up to determine whether I'd want to be associated with them.
