Society is a long thing to bring to a simple page of words. But I will, just like all the rest of my sections on here, add more onto later on; when they come to my mind.
First, does soceity meld the person or does the person meld themself imparted by society? In other words, do other people make you, or do you really make yourself? You decide to wear certain clothes and do certain things, but is it because you want to do it, or is it because you want to do it because others have made you want to do it, either by inclination, suggestion, or simple "superliminal" means. We live every day trying to decide what we want to be and what we want to do, but is it because of what we really want or what other people have made us inclined to. To make a simple example: you wake up one day and see a commercial for corn pops on tv. You then go to your cereal cabinet and see corn pops and frosted flakes. Most likely, you are inclined to choose corn pops, for you just saw a commercial for it; although there are the characteristics that will oppose to pick the corn pops, because they just saw it. In other words, no matter what, your decision on what you pick is influenced by society no matter what you do. If you chose corn pops because you just saw it, then they succeeded in influencing you. If you choose to not have them, because you just saw it, then they influenced you, but not successfully. If you decide to simply pick one for what they taste like, there is argument that the commercial did not have an influence on your decision; because it did, it is inevitable because of our human instincts and our brains. You must allow things to come into your mind, you cannot completely close off influences, it is inevtiable.
