The Making of Mankind

Humanity itself was constructed by society. What people think, do, and believe was all based off of ideas created by others around them. What position does a person need to hold to make themselves better than others? Should the logos of a person really give us a reason to use them as a model? Or is it the words that are communicated that makes society plead to new ideals or morals?

It is almost as if there is a key to unlock the minds of the human race. A key in which the United States has seized and is using to change our way of thinking. They open our mind and brainwash our thoughts. The stereotypes molded from television and the internet has altered our outlook on the world forever. At every corner it is Donald Trump pushing his way into politics, the Kardashians videotaping every moment of their lives, or the news broadcasting another  incident with ‘terrorists’. It is ironic by the way we view these people when we think of specific topics. What is our perception of a terrorist? Is it a brown male with a beard and a garment? For most people that is the first thing that comes to mind. Why do we not think of a white male who shoots up school as a terrorist?

This is because of the media's perception of these terms. It is because of the social constructs of society. We see each person through a different lens. The ways people look at things is different. “Education is not bad or good, it is how you look at it” (Valentino). A person can be doing something and it could be considered bad or good to another. Since the government has taken control of so many minds, the viewpoints of what is good and bad has changed for many Americans. The only way to win is if we get the key back. We must unlock our minds and see what is really being displayed in the world.
