Gender Norms
In this society gender norms plays a huge part of our life. Many people care so much of what others think. Many people fear of what others have to say about them, they want to be "normal." Everyone is born with different characteristics , some people talk different , some people have different tones in there voices. I like the quote of Judith Butler when she says “Why would someone be killed for the way they walk?” I totally agree with Judith and, I ask why? Why would someone kill someone else just for being themselves? Everyone is different , everyone has there own way , there own style , everyone is unique in there own type of way. I speak for myself as well , I accept who I am and everyone's opinions don't matter to me because at the end of the day I'm going to do what makes me happy. Sometimes your family won't support you , however there's other people there to support you , there are friends, teachers, even the counsellors. There's always people to talk to. It's okay to be different because no one in life is perfect. However I speak for myself again I know how it feels to everyone look at you different for your family to turn your back on you and try to change you, it's difficult but there's always a way. Suicide should never come to my mind and no one should kill another person just because there different , because there different as well.

I agree with you. In this world there is no such thing as "normal", everyone has a different characteristic that sets the apart from everyone else. It is mind blowing to think that people die because of the way they dress, act, or speak. This country and society should be better than than and accept people for who they are. Who are we to try and change who they are. Instead of doing this we need to learn that there are things that we can not control so we should just let it be. Those who do not accept it are just the ones that do not except individuality and change. They might be afraid of what the future might have in store for them. No one should be afraid because these changes will make this society a better place for everyone.
ReplyDeletePeople have the right to be who they are without the constant pressure to fit in with the normal set of society. Agreeing with Karolina that "Everyone is different , everyone has there own way , there own style , everyone is unique in there own type of way" is completely true about how people are. This country is founded upon the ideas of the people and now society is caving in, outcasting those who are different. People should not care to fit in. Those who punk on others for being different are only just afraid of being themselves because of what they believe is right. Having the differences scares and frustrates those who are raised with a set of mind of how things are supposed to be.
