Changing The Game In Which We Play

Society and our role in the game. Society is designed for us to fit. We grow up in an educational system that is constrained by the society of which we eventually enter. As we progress through life society guides us to where we will eventually fit. The fit, although not predetermined, is influenced by the societies  previous to ours. They are the societies of our parents, our guardian, our teachers, our coaches, and many more. Their societies all perfectly curated by the society before that. Thus, creating a perpetual system. A system challenged by the few but conformed to by the many. Society does not directly teach the ability to question for questioning society would result in the inability to fit. A character trait that does not conform to the 140 characters we are assigned. Society wants you to post your statues and share your interest with your friends because society has  methodically adapted itself to accept the norm, The norm, a term defined by society to be the standard. The baseline for existence in the current society. It is true society will accept the stragglers that are still clinging ton their flip phone or archaic technology however society names them. They are the stragglers. Deemed by society to be the slow adopters of trends far from the forefront but still society. 

It is important for individuals to challenge the society and its frame work, A teacher should not be subject to conforming to district standards if they feel the standard to be inadequate for the next generation of society. Just the same, the architectural student should not be conformed to solely the teachings of their professors. However, these large scale challenges of society are grand in undertaking and require an articulate understanding of the society in which it is commenting. On a micro scale it is important to challenge society in a way that reflects the ground up style of rebellion. We need to challenge the process in which we shop for our produce and meats of the way we interact with others through social media. The frame work of society needs to be challenged in order to understand our reason for existence in the world. If this does not happen society dictates full control and the adaptation of society becomes a phenomenon. An unreachable unobtainable self parasite that has no oversight mutating out of control by forces larger that the sum of its parts.
