On My Mind
Ever since I went home on fall break this issue has been on my mind. I saw two of my friends from high school who were already talking about transferring to a different school. They were talking about all of the negatives about their schools, not even trying to be positive. They both went to school with negative attitudes, think that it was not going to be fun and that they were going to hate it. One of my other friends did not even give college life a chance, leaving school after the first 9 days to go home and try to find somewhere else to go in the spring. The reason why I feel this is because in today's society, people are continuing to hold negative attitudes about change. They get too comfortable in their own lifestyle and they are not being open-minded. If this attitude continues amongst today's young people, society is doomed. There will be no risk takers, no people trying new things. If people are not being adventurous and trying new thigns, we might miss out on great ideas that people have.

Thats conformity at work. People as a whole need to fear change because without that trait society would be constantly fluxuating and out of control. The individual person however, should be open to new ideas because that is the only way to make progress. Those people that cant think for themselves and decide to back down from anything and run back to what they are used to with some sort of herd mentality is what will kill us. And it isnt their fault. How can we tell people to conform to the rest of society and to be an individual at the same time?
