Are people individual?

How are we influenced in everyday life?

Social media

Instagram

Facebook

Tumblr

On Facebook many people may find themselves fighting to have the most likes and the best page. They may change themselves to act like others in hope that they get more likes. It may seem silly but many people are influenced by Facebook.

Instagram can be great way to keep in contact with friends and share your funny pictures, but it is also full of model makeup and clothing brands, as well as famous celebrities that we may idolise and wish to be like.

Media

Competition for the best pictures and style, it can make you change your room, clothing and you in general to try and fit the theme for the 'perfect' picture.

The media puts out unrealistic body images and goals for us which can cause us to change ourselves.

Instinct of good and bad

Parents

It is part of a parents job to teach us what is right and wrong, if a parent does not teach a child what's right and wrong the child may grow up to be a bully or a thief. If the parents themselves are 'bad' people then this may also influence the child to grow up 'bad' themselves.

Childhood

If a child has had a traumatic childhood this more knock their views of right and wrong and set them up in a bad way for the future.

Bullying

Bullying influences who we are as the bully may pick 'imperfections' (individuality's) and fault them making us want to change them to become the society's view of 'perfect'.
