Does Society Contribute to How We think?
Does society as a whole have the consensus that the community contributes to how we think of ourselves and how receptive we are of the ideologies that we receive? This is the question that we must ask if we are to understand the impact society has on our mindsets. It is something that is difficult to change once we are adults because we’ve trained our minds to think a certain way.
However, changing our mindset and maturing in the things we process daily from around us in the news, neighbourhood, from friends and the community, in general, will help in how we see ourselves.
We may try to change who we are and how we think about ourselves. This may be positively or negatively. However, should we judge a person based on how they think or should we judge the society in which they grew up in? If society influences us in many ways, what we do with those thoughts and influences is what should matter and not what we think.
