Opinions and Human Mentality By: Jess-san |
One thing i dont understand about society is the way it creates so much contreversy. I for one am a person who gives mutual respect to all people i come across until they prove to me that they deserve a diffrent level of respect, weither it be one higher or lower of where they started. I think if more people did this stereo types might actualy dissapear. It has always made me very angry to think i am judged everytime i have to walk in public with my little sister, who is only 11 months as i am 14 years. People are always giveing me disgusted looks, most likey thinking im a whore or somthing like that. If people would at least make an attempt to stop automaticaly asumeing things and respect people for how they chose to live and dress and spend their money, if people would wait to judge until they actualy have somthing on which to base a judgement, society would be better off in my opinion. One thing that is just beyond me is how people will start these absolutly senseless arguments and end up in a social war. I saw this happen just today, actually, and it all started with a comment a girl made about a particular social group (she said cheerleaders suck to short). It was her personal opinion, no big deal right? Apparently not. 2 girls started to scream at her about how cheerleading is sooo hard and then of course she has to come back with something that was pretty offending (but a very good come back) and before u knew it, nearly the entire cheerleading squad in my school was mad at this girl just b/c she expressed her opinion and also partly b/c she fought back instead of telling them it was a general statment of her opinion. First of all i dont think she had much right to say that in the first place unless she has some kind of proof and by the sound of the argument her only proof was her own opinion which gave the cheerleads reason to fire back anyway. But my point in all that is that if society would just take on the mutual respect i mentioned earlier and would stop being so aggressive and deffensive of their views and drop the "I AM RIGHT!!!!" additude and would just give open-mindedness many, many people would be saved the pain of another senseless argument and a pointless social war. |
