in response..

We is an inversion of the idea of breaking from forest to create civilization. Like the Giants the people of the one state are naïve in their admiration of the benefactor, the way I child might view its parents in their early years. Yet i330 begins  to see the world outside and no longer views the benefactor in that way. I think partly the reason why 1330 is a teenager is because that’s the age when children rebel against their parents, it’s a normal natural and necessary thing to rebel as a teen so ithink that suggests that the same applies to societys and revolutions as well. But they live in a world of rationality and "ominiscience" and yet they want to go back to thier natural roots oposite of the forest article.
In response to samanthas comment on conformity
I think conformity is more of a reaction society and its realities. When we were young we all wanted to be astrounauts, fire fighters, or ballerinas things of that sort based purely off fantasy and desire, we never wanted to be real estate or insurance agents, or work in 9-5 office jobs, or have a house in the suburbs, the practical more realistic futures. But in youth we had very little responsibility we didn’t think about how hard we had to work to become what we wanted or how we would have to pay the bills. Because we had no responsibility and only dreams we didn’t want to conform. But as our responsibilities increased we learned that life was difficult and everything took work and practicality became more important than dreams. I think also school increases these notions especially in highschool when we have to be thinking about college. for me  At the end of eigth grade the teachers basically scared us into doing well, they said how everything counted for college and if you screw up to much your future was in jeopardy. They encouraged you to do the right thing the conforming thing, study and do lots of clubs for your transcript, be well rounded and all that. But this discouraged us from taking risks we felt like we could be penalized for mistakes so we don’t try a lot of new things we have less expierence, we know ourselves less we don’t really know our dreams, out of uncertainty we decide to to the practical thing conform.
