Teacher
If I were a teacher, I’d want to be an Amerian Political Science teacher. So I could teach young men and women basic American politics.> If I weren’t an objective person I could teach them political views. My political views on how things are running. I recently started college at Boise State University. When I apply my views on being a teacher to my current educational status, I think my teachers maybe teaching their points of view on their respective specialty. Then considering the world I live in:
Young men and women(boys and girls) have immensly impressionable minds when provoked properly. If someone or some group/organization taught specific views, one could draw the conclusion that society is being directed in a specific direction. Understandably American Society would hope to share the same goal or direction. Certain views being taught in an educational institute are not necessarily having an educational effect. It is more so a training effect. The training effect of the manner in which children and young adults in this country are raised and educated is sickening. Society looks like they’re being told what to do. Trained to use one’s mind not for free thought– free thought is "dangerous and must be regulated"– but for intelligence. CIA kind of intelligence, defined as having information and knowing what to do with it. Gobernment conspiracy intelligence. No, I’m not saying there is a government conspiracy(s) regulating American thought or information technology. I am saying that the Central Intelligence Agency is a governmental level organization designed to gather all sorts of sensitive and other information, organize that data, and then report their findings to a central decision making body. Namely some gov. committee. In the public eye Its known as the Government in private its how things work in the real world. Not every thing is pretty bunnies and fluffy kittens. Ohh, you know! I’m fucking sure. How do you feel about government conspiracies? Certain governmental conspiracies have an extreme probability. An intelligent individual could postulate the intentions of what a person in a semi-permanent high level government job could be and how that could effect me or society. Then postulate if someone could have the will to do so?
How about the private intentions of our government officials? Not to say someone else’s private life is my business, because no, it is not, personal privacy and the privacy of one’s home and possessions is extremely important to an American’s pursuit of happiness. This also applies to governmental officials. Except when liberty and personal sovereignty are in question by legal restrictioning.
People, American society is being intellectually conditioned through societal misunderstood ethics and values. You shouldn’t be offended by this; just the implication of society’s public and private societal values and legal standpoints. Specific beliefs and standpoints taught to upcoming adults and decision makers narrow the scope of freedom to people who chose to have an open mind and not live in misunderstood fantasies of reality. So when I go to school or out to dinner and see some of the societal discrepensated creations and mannerisms, I laugh ,because I don’t have negative intentions directed towards the function of society. And the intellectual in me concludes that this is a good thing for others in conflicting occupational roadblocks. I am not bragging or boasting; just conceding the fact that if I applied my intellectual and resourceful self to a particular situation I would predict with minimal error a result ending in my favor. I am not special. I am not suggesting a superior intellect. People fuck up. people make mistakes, but people have to learn from these mistakes. Mistakes both past and present. The more an individual fucks up on things and learns how to do things correctly the smarter and more capable one is. I fuck up all the time, you’ll see me do it all the time. Simple mistakes and it is very important to understand that learning never ends, no one is perfect, and shit fucking happens all the time– sometimes it ends up in the toilet.

I must say that this well worded piece of writing hits the spot for many thoughts going through my head. Being at the age I am I have first hand experience on how society forces individuals to conform without the individual even knowing it. I see it every where, and I know that as much as I try to avoid they finds little ways to creep into my mind. One dominant medium that is used to force unwanted conformation into America’s youth is the television. Commercials and television shows shape the young impressionable mind by feeding it pictures and scenarios of how we ‘should’ and ‘want’ to act and dress and talk and what ever else is ‘important‘. It especially seems obvious to me when I walk around campus and see the repetitious and almost identical clones strutting around. Big tinted sunglasses, large metallic belt buckles, DC shoes. But I also know certain corporations have made it quite difficult to buy original or different clothing. But these materialistic issues are just a small part of the whole ‘solution’.
Another great tool that is very effective in changing our young minds is to use the power of elder persuasion. When I graduated from high school I quickly felt that going to college was the ‘only’ next step to becoming a successful American. Not only did everyone in my school constantly hamper me by wanting to know where I was going, but the most important person in my life told me I must go, my mother. She said it was important in order for me to be happy so I didn’t repeat her mistake. Now I wonder, why is it so important? I believe it is a personal choice, not an essential step, but if I were to not go society would ‘look down’ upon me or at least that is what I was taught to think.
Any ways I don’t want to write a whole paper but I think you said it perfectly. All the small elements that the government puts together have a great effect on the minds of the young and old. You said it right and I just hope I can keep my mind clear of the constant murmur.
I don’t believe the government has a wide spread conspiracy to flush society down the toilet, our government isn't that smart (see my blog) But there is presure to conform. You will most likely be going to visit a psychiatrist if you start walking around with your underwear on your head. There are always consequences for not conforming; some are good some are bad. It is ultimately about picking your battles, knowing when to go with the flow and when you need to break away and do your own thing. As josh mentioned, it is the new American ideal that all kids should be going to college. My mom wouldn’t be eligible to apply for her job anymore because she doesn’t have a college degree, but she is grandfathered in. It’s just the direction our society is going. I haven’t figured out yet if it is because companies want better educated people than before or if it is because high school gotten too easy, so now we have to pay to finish our education.
