Society


I was thinking about how much I did not wan to go to school this Monday. I was thinking that school, or at least some classes in school, seem so pointless to me and why society socializes us to think it is SO important go to all four years of high school and then onto college have  too depending on what you are majoring in. I hate math and I really don't think I will use any math passed like 6th grade. So why do i have to take more math even though I probably won't use it? The reason why is because society socializes us to believe that titles matter. It sounds more impressive if someone got a doctorate in what they do instead of just an associates even if they had to spend a lot of money on a lot of pointless classes, you pay more for the title not for the education. People see it as a sign of success instead of you or your family having a lot of money. i don't really think this is fair because depending on your title you make more money and I think that the amount of money you make should be based on your ability. This basically makes it very hard for the poor to become successful. So the poor stay poor and the rich basically stay rich as long as they don't waste it. So the reason why I had to take four years of math in high school and I'm going to take up to 5 math courses in college is because in order to be "successful" in life I have to make a lot of money that I got from my high paying job that I got from my doctorate that I got from going to an expensive college that I was able to go too because I took 4 pointless math classes in high school. No wonder the world is so corrupt. In my English class we discussed that desperation is the route of all evil, but seeing as society socializes us to think that we desperately need money to be happy I still think God knew what he was taking about when he said "The love of money is the route of all evil." (1 Timothy 6:10)

  1. This all goes back to the strain theory of deviance....our society pushes success so much that people will do whatever it takes sometimes to get what they want.
