The Importance Of A Twins In Pop Culture
What makes you unique? What makes you so special, so memorable? But what would happen if you were a twin? In pop culture, being a unique individual is celebrated unless you are a twin. Twins are expected to dress alike, think alike, talk alike, and maybe even finish each other’s sentences. However, many twins try to move away from how the society views them: identical. Therefore, twins have a much harder time finding their own identity. This is the case for twin brothers George and John. Although they are identified as twins, the brothers have made efforts to distinguish themselves from one another. George watches the world through cloudy, hollow eyes that sink into his skull. He keeps his thinning, grey eyebrows scrunched above his eyes, resulting

    Persistently apprehensive about what people think about him, Brent constantly varies his self-identity to impress and fit in with his peers. When getting ready for the party, he notices his earing: “Next he inspected his left ear's gold earring. At his school in Atlanta, it had been the right ear....But at Montfort School, in the western suburbs of Chicago, it was the left” (6). This proves that Brent always changes his appearance to coordinate to what other people like. All Brent attempts to do is follow the trends specific to his location and fit in rather than do what he wants to do that makes him happy. In addition to following the trend with his earing, Brent insists on being on par with the music, “Discerning what stations were considered cool was another of his moving-in tasks” (6). This proves furthermore how much Brent cares about fitting in and impressing others. Will Brent ever discover what his true identity really is?…

    The two generations have many strengths and weaknesses. When I think of the generation gap I laugh because I would never imagine myself in the accepted population, I’d be a hippie. I would be a hippie because I believe that all humans can be equal (but I do not agree with gays) and if an adult wants to do drugs and listen to Jimmie then so be it. Yet I am a true 90’s kid and love Nickelback, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and Boys 2 Men. I can't imagine growing up in a whole different world than I did.…

    Imagine a world where everything is the same. No color, no imagination, and worst of all; no memories. How would you make yourself different from others in an all-too utopian society like this one? This is Lois Lowry’s description of life in, “The Giver.” What makes this life terrible is called sameness. Sameness, if it were to be used anywhere, would be detrimental for society or a community because it restricts all forms of creativity, keeps citizens from making their own choices, and prevents citizens from experiencing true feeling.…

    Twins Raised Apart

    • 4 Pages

    First I have to define what I have learned socialization to be. When we are young we learn from others teaching us and from the reactions of others. If we see others react negatively towards an action we learn that action is not good or appropriate. Through this process we learn the norms of our social culture and the basic rules of life.as we get older we learn more rules and how to apply them in any situation. We are socialized without even realizing it to many it seems we are simply learning and it is in a sense but I would add that it is learning with a side of brainwashing almost. I think socialization defiantly affects who we are to become, and how we feel we should act. in this case it affected more than just the one person being socialized to the situation. I read an article about two twin sisters part of a study about twins being raised separately. The sisters Amy and Beth where separated at birth and never told about each other as were the parents. Amy was put in a family who were lower class, had a son with learning disabilities, and parents who generally found Amy disappointing; while Beth was placed with a family who were upper class well off and parents who adored her. As the girls progressed it was obvious that treatment of army had started to take a toll and she showed classic signs of being a neglected child. The interesting fact that I saw was not only was Amy showing true signs of neglect, so was Beth. Even though Beth had parents who showed her attention and had close bonds to her she showed all the same signs as Amy “Thumb-sucking, nail-biting, blanket-clenching, and bed-wetting characterized her infancy and early childhood. She became a hypochondriac and, like Amy, was afraid of the dark and of being left alone. She, too, became lost in role-playing, and the artificial nature of her personality was, if anything, more pronounced than that of Amy's. She had similar problems in school and with her peers. Shy, indifferent,…

    i am special

    I am special. I laugh when nothing is remotely funny. I have two left feet but I will dance in the middle of a crowd. I talk too much, I bump into walls daily, and I have a bad habit of biting my nails. I have a tragically terrible voice but I sing in the shower as if I’m a contestant on American Idol. I am unique. My characteristics may delight certain people, yet alienate others. My personality is my own and will not be changed for anything or anyone, aside for me. I run cross country; a sport of which could be considered a football player’s punishment. I play the piano, filling any room with harmonic tones. I extend my limits, open my mind to new things, and cherish the gifts I receive daily. People may not see me as special, but I do. The goals I conquer are for me and if I accomplish them, that is enough to make me feel like a champion. There may be 7 billion individuals walking on this earth, yet I have talents and abilities that contribute to the world in a different way than others do. I dream different dreams and see from a different perspective. I have my own unique fingerprint. I am me, I am not rich or famous, but I live happily with myself. I look in the mirror and smile contently; the girl looking back at me is a reflection I am proud to see.…
