Does the society controls us? Or we are the one who control the society?Some people may think that we control the society. For example, one of my friends thinks that we control the society. That person disagree with me that society controls us so I asked her whether she has the courage to remove everything she was wearing. She said that she would not want to do so because she did not want to do it. She wanted to tell me that she could do it but she was not going to do it just because she did not want to.Then there is another question, why did she think this way? My answer is "society". Society cause her to think that way. We are born and living in a society of homo sapiens therefore we behave and think like a human. Everyone is the same at birth, the thing that will change us is environment and environment is directly relating to society because societies creates environments. If a person was brought up by a wolf, he or she would behave like a wolf. When we first came to this world, our mind are open then society pours in the rules and regulations, wanting us to do whatever our society wants us to and not to do whatever our society wants us not to. So we start to have basically the same behaviour but there is a little difference between everyone. This is cause by the different environment we are in as a single society contains not only one environment.Environments will change when societies change. Societies change when time passes by and time cause human 's mind to have revolutionary changes and that is why our society is somehow different from the past. Of course, our own personality affects our behaviour and thoughts too but the most is still from the outside world. Environment can change us through three ways. They are Place, Time and encounters. The place we are living in, the time that we live and the people and matters that we encounter. We are human because of them and we need them to succeed too. But after all, we make up the our society. A man does and the rest may follow and create a law. Soon, almost everyone is protecting this system and only a few think otherwise and do something new and create a new law, but sometimes, there will be a series of revolutions before that, then human will accept the new rule and the story goes the same way again and again. That is what I think society is about.
That is my philosophy.
