♥ Sameness and Difference ♥

Okay here is your first official assignment on the blog that will be graded. It is a free write and is worth 10 points. (just like we do them in class) The catch with this one is that you will have one week to do it. It will be due next Tuesday, October 7th. A good trick is to type it in a word document and then paste it over to your blog. Don't post your response until you are done. You can save it as a draft until you are finished. If you don't have Internet at home come see me at some point today. You also have to have at least 300 words (This post right here is about 100 words) I expect most of you to exceed this amount. Good luck! Comment on this post if you have any problems.Topic: Sameness and Difference. What is good about it? What is bad about it? What could be changed? Use what you know about our society and Jonas's society to write your entry.--------- Sameness and difference are both good and bad in many ways. Sameness could be good because if everyone was the same, then nobody would be judged by what they are wearing and everyone, everybody would be considered equal, and then there wouldn't be any war or any violence. Sameness could be bad too because if everything was the same there wouldn't be any originality or anything to make people unique, and they wouldnt have any chance to be an individual and stand out. Difference can also be good. I say this because then you have something to look forward to, and it's a way that you can be creative and express yourself and really be who you want to be and not what everyone thinks you should be. Difference can also be bad, only because if someone is different from someone else, they might think that your not as good as they are or that your dumb, so it can be challenging if you change to be different or the same as someone else. In Jonas's society it is a utopia. Everything is the same, and everything is perfect. For example: 1. They all have one girl and one boy child, 2. Nobody talks about change or being different, 3. nothing goes on that is out of THEIR ordinary. In our society on the other hand, it's completley opposite. Some examples that support my statement include: 1.We can choose what we want to be when we're older, unlike Jonas's society which assigns your job for you. 2. Our families can have as many children as desired, they dont have to be just one boy and one girl. 3. We can talk about change, our opinions, and what we feel about different things.
