I needs quotes that show how children are raised to conform since birth (or
even in schools) Posted by iphoneboy on May 21, 2008. |

"With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkerers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examiners, critics, knowers, and imaginative creators, the word `intellectual,' of course, became the swear word it deserved to be. You always dread the unfamiliar." We see in this quote the power of schools to place students into roles - runners, jumpers, etc. By being placed in a role, a person is doing what is expected of him and not being an individual. Also, notice the last sentence - we dread the unfamiliar. To be an individual is to be unfamiliar. Thus, to conform is easier Posted by sullymonster on May 21, 2008. |
