(no subject)
I was cleaning out some of my old notes a few weeks back from last semester, and I found this paper I wrote for my Sociology class. My professor loved it, so I thought I'd share it. It's about countercultures.
One possible way that everyone in society could understand everyone's reasons behind certain mannerisms is to rid of parochial ways of thinking. I believe the reason why countercultures exist is due to the fact that those who are part of the countercultures have been shunned away from the majority of society.
In most cases, it's the person's parents, friends, the corporate world, the government, or any of those who fit in as 'normal' would be responsible. Those who shun such people away live pusillanimous lives that they feel by denying the existence of these counterculture people will decrease the chances of making them a threat to society.
There are also cases where those who are part of the countercultures have such an outlandish but perhaps valid philosophy that it has made them pariahs simply because no one can relate to them accept those whom they associate. People fear what they don't understand. When you feel fear and it comes from a source that brings paucity to your way of rationalizing, you become frustrated, frustration is a branch of anger. This is why those who fit in society are typically arrogant, shallow, narrow-minded, and aren't the slightest bit of hesitant to walk all over those who physically and/or mentally compromise their outlook on the world.
