Kipling's The Jungle Book

In Kipling's, “The Jungle Book,” Mowgli is brought into the jungle and from a young age. The animals taught all of the young to function a certain way to keep society in order. The animals decided that in order to maintain a well functioning society that they needed to train young how to act. There are no negative outcomes in the animal's way of maintaining a well functioning society. Baloo trains the young in ways to act, songs of the jungle and anything else they need to know.

Mowgli tries so hard to be exactly how everyone wants him to be that he won’t even breathe the wrong way so that he can be accepted no matter how different he looks from everyone else. Mowgli carries the lessons he learned and all of the things Baloo and the rest of the jungle taught him to wherever he went and that is a positive outcome in my opinion because not only is he helping himself but others. Balloon and Bagheera teach Mowgli how awful the monkeys are, when they snatch Mowgli, he warns a nearby animal to help him out. Mowgli feels sad because no matter how much Baloo discipline Mowgli, Mowgli knows right from wrong because of Baloo.

Schultz talks about how social norms can benefit society by empowering others to participate in something so great that it changed
