We all leave our lives the way we want, then for some reason we watch reality TV. Why do teens try and base their lives on something that is consider reality, when reality is what you are suppose to make it? When you are in a group of people you have just met you always seem to stay around the people that dress and act the way you do, when the people you could really get along with emotionally could be from the complete opposite social class?

• We all leave our lives the way we want, then for some reason we watch reality TV. Why do teens try and base their lives on something that is consider reality, when reality is what you are suppose to make it?

• When you are in a group of people you have just met you always seem to stay around the people that dress and act the way you do, when the people you could really get along with emotionally could be from the complete opposite social class?

• War is a part of life, without war we would not be living in the type of society we have in the U.S. Why should we complain and boycott war when we are fighting for social freedom and rights? What gives us the right?

• Our society tells us that war is gruesome and ethically wrong. Then why do war games appeal to our youth so much, could it really be that everyone has a hostile emotion in them?

•America's past time, if it is truly our past time why do we look at a legend in the game as a criminal cause he supposedly used a performance enhancing drug as a criminal, when all over America these drugs are used?•Sports can bring people together that will never have met if the game was never invented, so why should we consider athletes over paid babies, is it we are envious or does our society tell us we should not look up to the rich and the famous?

• When we are young there is no black and white, there is just people. Why does society still try to start segregation with ethnic groups when we fought so hard to become one nation? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of calling America "The Great Melting Pot"?

• Where does the innocence go? Why does capitalism pressure people so much into making them selves financially stable when life is so short and we should enjoy every minute of it, instead of stressing ourselves out?

•Does the social class someone grows up in, causes to clutter their room and no thought of cleaning?•College is all about change and doing things that you never could imagine seeing yourself do. Does going through a change in society help you in classes and give you a reason to succeed?

• When driving around town you will occasionally see cop cars just parked in random areas. Growing up in certain societies your parents tell you to fear cops maybe to always obey the law. So why when you get older do you speed buy a parked cop car even though you were taught to fear the police?

• Police are supposed to protect and serve, but when they shoot someone, how is that considered protecting more less serving? Does the position you have in society give you the right to do something that is not actual what you are suppose to do?

• When everybody is walking through a town, why is interaction limited? Is it because Americans are just shy or is it true when people say that America is ethnocentric?

• People walk the same route everyday on there way to work, living the same day in a way over and over. So that one day when you decide to take a short cut or just the scenic route, why does everyone look at you? Is it possible for society norms to change from on street to the next?

• Life is supposed to be fun, and doing stunts that can risk your life is sometimes the most fun you can ever have. So when in almost every society in the world they teach you to be safe so what would make someone want to risk there life for fun, even though you know if something bad happens society will blame you for being idiotic and reckless?

• In capitalism it says the bigger the risk the bigger the reward, but when it comes to your life the bigger the risk the more problems you could have. So would risking your life be acceptable in a society that may be very conservative and if not how would society look at you?

•Finding love is one of the biggest accomplishments you can achieve in life. Even if you are completely in love with someone why do we let ourselves listen to the society we live in tell us if the person we have found is right for us or acceptable for the place you live in?•Growing up in society it seems like people look for what is on the outside of a person instead of their intelligence or ethics. Why do we go along with society and not look for what is important to you as a person, what happened to individuality?

• Parents love to watch their kids play sports. Sometimes they can love it too much. Does the U.S. society make parents so competitive through their kids or are the parents living through their kids?

• Growing up is part of life, everyone goes through it. Why is society so eager to change someone from being so innocent and pure, as you were as a child?
