Very rarely do we ever just pause, zoom out and look at the bigger picture. Kelsey mentioned how she had grown up in a very strict and conservative household, and that she didn’t have much say in how she felt or what she believed. It seems like such a little thing to me at times, but I can be ignorant to the fact that not everybody has the same freedom and power that others my age have been given. While, of course, I grew up with rules, I have always been nonconventional. I have always done my own thing, regardless of how “cool” I did or didn’t look. I’ve always had my own styles, beliefs, opinions and mindset. And it’s pretty crazy to think that even here, in the most free country in the world, not everybody truly does have the freedom of speech. <br /> At another point in the article, Kelsey mentioned that nowadays people tend to lose themselves while trying to mold to the stereotypical norms that the world has created. I couldn’t agree more with that point, and it has actually been something that I’ve been a firm believer in for a long while. People are too invested and worried with the way they think they may be perceived, that they’ll put on a mask that eventually molds them into a completely different person. It’s become such a pressing matter with current society, that the pressure some people feel to please others has completely overpowered ones desire to please themself. I really love how Kelsey related these topics to the Pink Floyd song, because it goes along perfectly with everything I’ve just expressed. Just because a wall needs to be built, doesn’t mean you have to be one of the bricks in the making. As KP said yesterday, “You are the agent of change.” I feel as though being a part of KP’s class will be a great opportunity for many students to re-open their eyes and see the truths about the world we live in.<br />hannah ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14006473939626281155noreply@blogger.com
