Can society fully control individuals?
Although conjunction sets a myriad of rules and regulations that ostensibly circumscribes your actions, it is our plectrum whether or non to conform to these rules. Convincing examples to demonstrates this founds be found in A Dolls House by Henrik Ibsen, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and Galileos choices of defying norms in the celestial orbit of science.Noras decision to leave Torvald and seek her emancipation in the number A Dolls House by Henrik Ibsen explicitly demonstrates that, regardless of what auberge dictates, choices are always present ot the individual. Nora was one of many women who suffered from the male supremacy during the Victorian Era. Her husband, Torvald, would call her demeaning names such as squirrel and pet and expects her to follow every command because society dictates that she should. However, Nora defied her social norms and left Torvald to achieve her independence an act considered to be unthinkable at the time. Thus demonstrates that decis ions are dependent upon(p) upon individuals, not society.An separate example which shows that our choices area solely determined by ourselves is that of Atticus and his decision to defend a black man, Tom Robinson, in To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Atticus, who lives in a town inhabited by a racist, white community, decided to do what he thinks is right and defended a black man named Tom Robinson, who was specious accused of raping a white girl. Despite Atticuss information of the vicious calumny that he will be subjected to by society, he neertheless made the decision which he considered is right and defended Tom Robinson. This encourage shows that decision are purely based on the individual.In addition, the position that decisions of the individual can never be fully controlled by society is shown in the field of science, particularly through Galileos choice of having a heliocentric view on the universe. Galileo was a scientist who, after adequate look for into the fi eld, maintained that, contrary to what the church and Aristotle believed, the sun is in the center of the universe. At the time, society strongly believed that the earth is the center of the universe and considered every other scientist who said otherwise to be mocking religion and thus deserve punishment. Because of his theory, Galileo was convicted of heresy and consequently sentence to home imprisonment. Surely, it was Galileos decision to vocalise his theory which, rather interestingly, happened to be correct all alongThe same examples are just three a vast number of bulk who decided to go against society wishes. If anything, these people exemplify the human constitution of exploring the unknown, of thinking critical outside the box and of seeking dreams regardless of the perils and obstacles on the way, these are the people who make progress possible without such individuals, society would be a collection of robots that operate based on norms and that would never be able to think, speak or act out anything that does not fit this norm. Quite simply, it is these people that liberated the oppressed and light up the path of knowledge.
