Society as defined by our standard dictionary: The people in a country or area, thought of as a group, who have shared customs and laws.
True indeed, society is a group who have customs and laws but the query arises, does it share the customs and laws or just it is imposed on others?
It is said by anthropologists that, man is a social animal and thus need people around to meet, talk, express and spend time.
It is also a matter of fact that society differs from place to place. With no offence, each country has set up its own ideologies and principles and run on those. In English speaking countries, society has an abstract existence. To some countries in the Eastern part of the globe, in the largest continent of world, we observe society as any matter that has proper existence with weight (here I meant, emphasis).
In a society like ours, we undoubtedly have the most attached and linked society wherein people interact and live together as any other relative or family members to us. But, we can't just accept the positive sides without accepting its negative sides.
To start, I prefer being more optimistic while forming my opinion and insights for it. In my opinion, we are richer than any of other countries in the sense that since childhood every single Indian child is taught to treat the members of the society to treat them as per their age and to show similar height of respect and regards to them as we do to the members in our family or in relatives. If by any mistake, we act on the contradict, we receive unwanted and endless epical sessions on morale and ethics for free of cost and honestly speaking, post those longer hours of session, an individual murmers to himself "Agggh! That wasn't intentional and they're not even any of our relatives! Why's this for then?? Is there any option to stop it, or of not, simply any control to skip it till the end?"
Well, this thought can be called as imaginary because it is involuntary.
Well, parents shouldn't be blamed for this, they're here on earth as a godly figure for us to guide and pave our path to make it smooth, easy and clear. But while in 20s, we often fail to realise because there's a lot of difference in both the thoughts, perspectives and ideologies.
But does the society carry out all the necessary duties and responsibilities in return? Or it cages us??
Well, growing up in itself is a learning and adopting process in a human life. Going back in the memory lane, have we ever observed how we were during our school days? Have we noticed how many have we learned and how we kept on changing? We went through lots of transitions throughout the school end. When I first had this idea of picking this particular topic, I at once skimmed my gallery and found some relevant photos of my past and picked up some photos from my primary days, middle school years, high school years and most significantly college days as ingredients to make the recipe called memories. While in the process of this amalgamation into a collage, I observed a drastic change in the same child who grew up into an adult with respect to time. Biological changes are obvious, but there are many other changes that takes place.
Well, everyone does believe this transition and can tell about it oneself but what I observed is a constant and steady change in myself. I knew things that were new, adopted some few of them (though I got rid of whatever bad I adopted then) but it shaped me the way I am at present. The original me was gradually dwindling over the years.
But, the society doesn't accept anything that seems to be new or something dissimilar to the norms and culture that they had followed.
Everyone of us is surrounded by a so called society and treatment we do to them is totally just but when it comes back to us, it is never accepted gracefully.
To some extent, we can say that, whatever we feel as good may not be good to all or sometimes we fall into bad practices.
In a side, a society has people who express their happiness and boast of their children being educated in a convent institution or in a very reputed college or university. Additionally, they boast of their children being modern and apt as per the modern world. On the contrary, the same society has people who talks back about the same children who just been appreciated.
It's not easy to understand the psychology and mindset of people a particular thing. You'll experience atypical view of any particular perspective. Some would act pendonium whereas some would simply go reaction less.
A complex level environment and environmental factors leads to the complexity if mindsets.
