Rhetorical Analysis On Rendividuality Vs Conformity

“Kids at Hope” has become a part of the Herndon High School’s framework for all students and the entire staff. Kids at Hope is “a strategic, cultural framework designed to engage entire communities to support success for all children, no exceptions”. It is a cultural framework with strategies based on three leading principles and practices: We Believe, We Connect and We Time Travel. The “We Connect” component of Kids at Hope supports the notion that as long as children have meaningful and sustainable relationship with caring adults they will be successful. Those caring adults are called the ACES.

Many teenagers would agree the last place that they want to be is in school. This attitude is evident in both “I Go Along”, and “I Just Wanna Be Average”. However, as much as some may defy school, it is undeniable that education opens up opportunities to those of all academic levels. For instance, after attending the accelerated English class’ field trip, Sharon encourages Gene to excel in school. She states, “You’re as bright as anybody on this bus”.

In case all students have the same clothing style, there will be no competition between students about who has a better clothing choice(Occupy Theory, 2014). This also will eliminate the thought of who is wearing more expensive than the other as students in their early ages can be sensitive towards that. Being dressed with the same school uniform all together encourages that unity concept and promotes feeling that school is considered as a second home or a small society for all its students. Spirit is raised and makes students feel that they are all alike. School uniforms make this concept socially

Dress codes are an enormous part of a high schooler’s everyday life, with over half of K-12 schools having some type of dress code (“Should Schools Have Dress Codes” 1). Even though these schools vary in the strictness of their dress code from no rips in jeans to standardize uniforms, the driving force is the same. Many adults believe that students need to learn how to dress appropriately, and that introducing and maintaining dress codes will stop distractions and greatly reduce bullying (“Should Schools Have Dress Codes” 1). However, in this increasingly uniform world, students should be able to express their uniqueness in any way that they can. Dress code rules teach students that their individuality is not important in addition to discouraging creativity.

As most teens would also have the trait of being a wallflower and would relate to the character Charlie. By teens reading the book in high school it would help them go through the problems that teens will face every day in high school or when they are going through a big change in their lives. The book The Perks of Being a Wallflower is beneficial for teens, because high school is one of the best settings to read the book, and the is a blueprint for healing and survival for a teen. The way the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky are beneficial for young people who are going anything in high school, as anyone who would be going through a change such as a high school, would relate to the main character Charlie. The book will help open up teens ' minds on topics that they never realized that are problems then and now.

Nathan not only sees the conformity established in the clothes that the students wear, but also in the way the students think and act in a group setting. The author states that, “Despite our celebrated freedom to choose, we seem to choose the same things, and those “free” choices are badges of our belonging” (Nathan 143). Throughout childhood proceeding into adults, an individual is exposed to “peer groups” that shape the persons attitude and behavior. The textbook states, “Individuals must earn their acceptance with their peers by conforming to a given group’s norms, attitudes, speech patterns, and dress codes. When we conform to our peer group’s expectations, we are rewarded; if we do not conform, we may be ridiculed or even expelled from the group” (Kendall 79).

Having to put so much effort into this, some students begin preparing as soon as ninth grade and they quickly fill up their schedules, not leaving subsequent time for social plans. I also concur with Wurtzel, as I believe that teenagers will always be a marketing concept. No matter what the rest of their life looks like, high school trends and brands will continue to prosper from teen’s gullible nature and follower personality. As a true twenty first century teenager, I do not believe that Wurtzel’s argument is faultless, but from experience I know that many of her points are valid, and her article shed a light on the issues that we do not normally

Possibly, maybe it should be called nothing more than stretching and breathing exercises. However, the term is too Americanized and completely integrated into our society by now. The benefits of the physical act cannot be ignored and should be utilized, especially in the school systems across the United States. Yoga, used in the schools, should be viewed the same as a game of kickball, dodgeball, or running track. It should be encouraged and welcomed by all because of the benefits our children will surely experience for years to

The Pillars of Success can be meant in many ways to many different kinds of people, but to an individual, such as me who is in currently, a junior in High School is meant through respect, responsibility, leadership, and friendship. These 4 simple words are the pillars of success to become a successful person when graduating high school. As a high schooler, being respectful to not only to one’s peers, but also one’s teachers, janitors, parents, principal or band director is essential not only in high school but in life in general. In my perspective being respectful to everyone around one regardless of authority is more important than any grade one scores on a test or assignment because scoring a number cannot withstand the way one makes their peers feel. Responsibility is another important pillar for countless high schoolers like me because high school is the time when we make decisions that will affect us for a long time to come and it is

Students and many parents support the walk out because they believe students should be able to exercise their first amendment rights. Protesting in schools can be constructive by uniting
