This weeks reading really had me thinking. From how we put a label on many things to the simple idea that we do have a choice about everything that happens in our lives. I feel that society today has gotten into the habit of really categorizing individuals with the way the they choose to look or carry themselves as a person living in our society today. I also believe that the rules and standards that society has made really affects the way people choose to live their lives. Some may disagree with me on that note, however An arguement that always seems to come up is that if a person chooses to be "different" from what the society today sees as the norm, that it is their personal choice and they have to live with the consequences of their personal decision that they made in their life. I believe that everyboday has the choice to express themselves and to do what they want to make them happy and content with their own lives even if it is choosing the more difficult task such as, in our reading this week a man is given a choice to do what he wanted to do or wait until he received full permission to actually enter. He decided to wait by the door guy. I feel maybe he was afraid of the consequences that he would face if he were to enter, therefore he waited patiently. He never did what he wanted to do because he basically was not allowed to and did not want to break a rule and face the consequences of his actions. Today laws really affect the way that people act in our society today. I think that this is a both bad and good thing. Bad because some people may not be content and happy with their life because they can not do everything that they really want to do, however I believe that laws are a good thing as well because it keeps society safe and organized. All in all, you may not realize it but laws really do affect your everyday decisions in your everyday life, considering what consequences you are willing to take, brings you a step closer in making your final decision
