"Humans are independent in thought, action, and emotion from their kin, and the behavioral patterns that each human contain that are different from each other, lie heavily in the aspect of environmental influences."

How much is the environment affected by society?

What different views are there?

To debate:

To what extent does society shape people, as opposed to their genetics or personal beliefs?

Is society to blame?

What is the impact?

"A person's personality is a functional process which assists them in social relating and self-regulating their own emotion, indeed, it has been posited previously that the impact of life events in an infant's brain can actually impact on the genetic expression of parts of the developing brain, rendering the nature-nurture debate over simplistic."

- Dr Gordon Milson

Typically, people can blame 'society' for issues relating to young people. Often, their backgrounds and upbringing is blamed for their actions. Yet, they forget that they are also part of society.

  • Job prospects
  • Making moral decisions - usually for the better
  • Lying to meet the expectations of others
  • Fear of exposing your true character

What is society?

Celebrity Image & Social Media

Why do we ask?

Media has taught girls from a young age that beauty is what meets the eye, no deeper. What is funny, however, is that those celebrities that appear so perfect are actually photoshopping their pictures, even on Instagram.

"Society: an organized group of persons associated together for religious, benevolent, cultural, scientific, political, patriotic, or other purposes."

"Social media has created a 'brainwashed generation.'" -Essena O'Neill

Social media has many perks and also downfalls, which affect our personalities and behaviour as a society. It can be a way of spreading negative thoughts and abuse towards people, at all times of the day.

Everyone is unique, and this is a fact that cannot be argued.

Yet we are all shaped by different experiences and backgrounds.

How do these experiences impact our lives at a later stage?

The Media

It influences:

  • What we read
  • What we watch
  • What information we receive
  • Our identity
  • How we communicate
  • Immediacy of almost everything

How does YOUR society shape YOU?
