Music Conformity And Cobain
946 wordsOur society is in the midst of a complete paradox of perception. Everyone is entitled to their own system of beliefs, yet the majority of these beliefs are adulterated by the conformity to societies standards. History proves that most any attempt to stray from the norm and venture into a realm of nonconformity is soon detected, tainted, and followed in masses. Kurt Cobain was born in 1967, just twenty-two years before he inadvertently spawned the movement that would revolutionize the identities ...

Gun Control Political Process
1,060 wordsPerhaps I'm getting cynical in my old age but it seems to me that the primary difference between most political ideologies, primarily conservatism and liberalism, is rate of speed. Indeed, the only difference may be that one moves faster than the other towards the demise of our existence as a free people. The platforms put forth by either side reflect less and less a concrete difference in principle and more and more a differing in opinion regarding just how quickly the chains of slavery should ...
