Society

This week we learned all about how important our society is in molding the people we become. I never realized how much of an impact it has until we viewed kids such as Genie. Genie couldn't even do things that we think are simple and what we do everyday, such as talking, eating and walking. The fact that Genie's father would actually keep his own child locked up in a room for their whole life is absolutly astonishing to me. I can't even image having that be done to someone. But that situation really showed how improtant society is in shaping us. Without the people we interact with everyday, we wouldn't talk, walk, dress, or do anything the same as we do now. Our family and friends have made us the people we are today. My mom, for example, has truely made me the person I am today, with a little help from my dad and sisters. Me and my mom act exactly the same way; we laugh at all the same stuff, we both adore little kids, and we have a hard time getting or staying mad at people. If it hadn't been for my mom, I feel like I would be a completly differnt person. The lack of love and attention from a parent can change ones life dramatically, as we can see through feral children. It's interesting to think about if I hadn't had the life I do today, and didn't have my family. What would I be like?
