Within the society I have grown up in I've come to the conclusion a majority of people are unable to construct their own beliefs. I am able to make connections through every day subjects and subjects of importance. While studying during my freshman year of high-school I realized multiple people conforming to a group they were fond of. These people willingly let go of who they were to become a mere copy. The group adorned the same style; whether it be through hair, clothing, and even makeup for girls. It was more commonly referred to as a clique but I saw more complications rather than acceptance from such actions. This was just the beginning, as I stepped into a world shaped by much more important views.
Through the period of election for 2012 people were fixed upon internet propaganda, and whatever their peers seemed to say of the presidential candidates. The technological advances at the hand of Americans ironically seemed further build the complexity of the situation. I had hoped that rather than people immediately feeding more nonsense into other minds far more susceptible than their own, they would research and develop their own ideas. Unfortunately, a majority of people depends on others for beliefs.
