accepting a label

Today in our world I believe people really don’t have a good understanding of individuality. Everybody has dreams and goals, but is the dreams and goals we have of what other people have? People always say that they are their own person, but that is in fact not true. I am guilty of it too. People that are true individualist are innovators. An innovator is someone that came up with something on their own, it is their own identity. I feel people are afraid now to take risks and be their own person, so they settle for what society calls the “norm.” We see and hear it every day on the radio with rap and hip hop artist reality television shows. Today we listen to four rap songs about people’s lives as they were growing up and how they see the world as it is. In my opinion that is what they think society expects them to do is be hustlers and gang banging. When in reality there is an out to the life they live. People shouldn’t accept what they think society labels them as. People should be motivated an want to explore more and new options for their and families lives.
