During the Socratic Seminar we discussed whether or not we all have the right to be alone. Many if not majority of us as a whole agreed that yes we all have the right to be alone. For some of us that are actively involved in our school through the many clubs, activities, and sports we are generally always around our classmates and people. Sometimes we just need to take a step back to recollect ourselves or at least catch a breath. In 1984 members of the Party could never be alone, solitude was dangerous and probably led others to suspicion that you were doing wrong or up to no good.
If I were living into a society like this I would definitely have trouble. As much as I love being around my friends and people in general, sometimes I need to be on my own. Some things personally I have to just do alone, I can't take someone with me everywhere I go. To be in a world where individualism wasn't excepted and everyone must conform is just terrible to me.
Yes,everybody needs their own time to collect their thoughts. Don't get me wrong doing extra curricular actives is great to do;moreover, if you need that much time to collect your thoughts you should re-evaluate your scheduled and possible make critical changes.
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree with you a lot on this, being alone can be really helpful because it allows you to sit back and think about where you are, and what you have going on. Being in a society where there is no individuality is something that will have you overwhelmed because you can never have peace at mind with everyone around you.
