Bill Nye Group Mentality

Sometimes familiar things can be warped and changed in such a way that when we see this
familiar thing again, it is no longer familiar, it is no longer how we remembered that particular
familiarity. For me, it is Bill Nye. I grew up watching Bill Nye in my science classes and I
remember how much more I loved watching his show than the actual class. He always found a
way to take banal scientific concepts and explain them to kids in such a cool and captivating way
so kids could understand. My science teachers never seemed to have that aptitude. If it were up
to little me, Bill Nye would have just substituted the teachers permanently. Unfortunately, Bill
Nye has changed, he has warped into somebody that is definitely not Bill Nye the Sciez-zce Guy.

Nye recently came out with a show on Netflix called, Bill Nye Saves the World, which is
supposedly for kids. This show is a disgrace to science and is not even real science, on top of all
that is is very cringey. It details to kids in inappropriate messages about SJW (social justice
warrior) science, this is science that is caters to peOple that want to feel like they are unique.
Watch this clip from the show and explain to me how this qualifies as a “science show” for kids.
This video is supposed to teach kids about gender and sexuality or whatever, but asks them,
“who enjoys a fleshlight in the cold moonlight”, what the bleep? Bill Nye has gone from
someone I use to admire to a cringey “scientist” who is a proponent of the fake (muh
individuality) science and backs a show with a pretentious title and high disapproval rating (look
at the video dislikes to likes). He is no longer familiar, but warped in the eyes of many kids who
are now adults that can think for themselves and reject this show’s phony message and the
ridiculous rhetoric of SJ W snowflakes.
When trying to explain why people act the way they do in certain situations to my friends I like
to quote sociology. For instance, some people when you are around just them they will be normal
and act just how a regular friend will act. However, the minute they are around a girl they have a
crush on they can act differently. The point is, people tend to act differently around others, and it
all varies on the particular group of people.

This is called group mentality and is a big factor in a
society because humans are social animals after all. So when my friend was hearing about all the
things happening since Trump won presidency, with Antifa’s (an anarchist group called,
“Antifascist”) hypocrisy and ignorant protesters brainwashed by the mainstream media
protesting about non-issues, I had to explain to him about group mentality. I explained to him
that humans willingly believe things a group believes because they think that if so many peOple
act as if a certain thing is true, then it must be true. I told him Antifa is really a domestic terrorist
group that silences opposing viewpoints (which is a key defining point of fascism) by violently
lashing out and seriously hurting people. This is group mentality to the extreme, which at 5this
point would be apt to say is actually mob mentality because they are hitting people in the head
with bike locks, stabbing people, and throwing M at innocent Trump supporters under the
guise of masks and labelling the other side as fascists. This I explained to him is what happens
when group mentality takes a turn for the worse and really brings out the negative side of

humanity.
When my family and I went on vacation to England I explained to them how different cultures
are when compared to ours. They thought their culture was so weird, how they do not socialize
with strangers in passing, like how we do in the United States, how they do not make eye contact
and smile at strangers like Americans. I explained to them that comparing our culture to their
culture and saying how strange their culture is when compared to ours is called ethnocentrism.
Ethnocentrism is where you judge another culture based on one’s own cultural norms and values
and beliefs. In England, peOple refer to fries and fish as fish and chips, which is weird when
compared to our culture because we do not call “fries” “chips”. Ethnocentrism is what
contributes to “culture shock”, I told my parents that when in another country and you are
weirded out by what you see, or shocked, it is because you compare that culture’s norms with
your own culture’s norms, this is why if an American were to go over to China they would be
shocked that they eat a lot of their food with chopsticks. It is shocking to see how other cultures
operate and it is mainly based off ethnocentrism, this is why England was such a fun trip, 5
because I got to examine their cultural values and compare them to mine and was amazed at how
many things were different, and my parents really enjoyed learning about the different culture
and social aspects.
When debating someone about Donald Trump I use sociology all the time. Many times people
just spew whatever they hear on the mainstream media as fact and instead of attacking their
beliefs and calling them wrong, I like to get them to find out it is wrong all by themselves by
asking them questions that lead them to the true answers. When you debate someone and are
