Most of society isn’t comfortable with people who get tattoos,
piercings or with people who dye their hair or style it different ways than “normal”
people. Those people are known as nonconformists. In Logan Fey’s article “The
sociology of leopard man” he says “Society tends to discourage people from
expressing their unique ideas and behaving in ways that are different from
their peers. “ I agree with that author and his statement that people do treat
other people different if they act or appear different.
In Logan Fey’s article, he argues that people with tattoos, piercings
or extraordinary hair does all the things to them for attention. I would disagree with his statement because I
think people dress that way so they can express themselves and most importantly
because they feel like it. There is nothing wrong with people who dress
different from the rest. I think people shouldn’t judge people based on their
look or how they dress.
In paragraph five he states “Pop psychologists reassure the
masses that abnormal people suffer from psychological disorders.” I would disagree with this statement as well.
I don’t believe that people with abnormal physical appearance or personalities suffer
from any disorders or diseases. You should just let people be themselves without
thinking they have a disorder.
Logan Feys says “Such people are desperate for society’s
attention.” I would somewhat agree with him. I do believe some people are desperate
for society’s attention. Some would go
to such lengths for the approval of society which in my opinion is not all that
important. I believe someone should not
wait to be approved by society and just be themselves.
Logan said “Society tends to discourage people from
expressing their unique ideas and behaving in ways that are different from
their peers.” I agree with him but not entirely. Not everyone changes to
impress society or to get an opinion from another person. I wait for a day not
close enough for people not to judge one another over their appearance.
