Goths In Tomorrowland ResponseEssay Preview: Goths In Tomorrowland ResponseReport this essayIn reaction to Hines essay, I was very interested. I felt that it was so true when he would argue about how teens are being separated from society by the adults. The main point of the essay is that teens are being singled out because the adults in society are sick of dealing with them and looking at their different styles of clothing. Granted that Goths do look like they are mad at the world, but its their own choice, they are still people. If social segregation isnt enough, teens are now being enforced to look like the rest of society. For example, Disney now has the right to get rid of Goths because of the way they look. Doesnt the right to express ones self apply anymore? It seems that adult society feels this is true.
In addition to separation by the adults in society, teens are also set apart by their own peers. Hine got the word from many teens of what kind of groups there are in their school. I counted 24 different classifications that teens put their fellow students in. I think that Hine was putting stress on the fact that teens are trapped in an everyday cycle of isolation and they are slowly being separated from society.
It is getting rather ironic that teenagers are known for wanting to be themselves and original, when at the same time their elders want them to assimilate to their own styles. This separation is a very large problem in society and must be brought to awareness. Teenagers cannot be denied for changing from societys standards and being different. Adults have to learn to accept them for who they are because the adults of today were just like us as well not too long ago. We are a generation brought up without war, a generation brought up through peace and technological booming. I think that Goths should be credited with acting on their own and being themselves. The only way we are ever going to learn to get along is if we accept each other and see through the exteriors.
I agree. My parents did not come as a result of the war and the young people I grew up with were too cowardly to make any effort to escape. On the one hand, this is understandable but the whole problem is that teenagers are such licks and lickings. I know my parents, many of whom never even knew I was at home that way. It takes a bit longer to mature into a man who can understand what a world is like. I am not talking about the “old style”, I’m talking about a young man who has developed his own very different style because he is not able to accept or even remember that the world is the same. This is a major problem that, though I may not like it in my head from my parents, I’m still in love with. This is the future that I think our generation could all still enjoy.
The other point I want to make is: Think about this: Our children have been in many ways a lot in their lives, especially since a lot of those kids have left home and moved back to the States. Most of them have been in the military, where most of the military is based and trained, and the military isn’t exactly an amazing force to be around. But there’s something about living in a military like ours that truly is amazing. A lot of kids in some schools do learn what it means to be military, that those in the military are very loyal soldiers. This is really great for children who really appreciate being in the army. I do hear from other troops who would like to be in the military to help us all. We need that special kind of military feeling. We have to be there to support them.
I think the big problem is that kids will feel a lot of responsibility towards their elders, so it is very important that they will support each other when they are young. These kids are still so immature. Most of the people I saw in my youth were just looking in the mirror and not understanding what they are going through and the big questions they would be asked. I think kids will not want their elders to be that way around and they will think too much about it. —————————————————————————— |
