Recommended: Personal freedom in society

“People desire the freedom to be themselves but more often than not, the fear of rejection or disapproval drives them to compromise their individuality.”(Erochina, para.) At the core of human existence, there is a need to connect to other humans, the truth is, disconnection reveals one’s true nature. A person will disconnect from their family when all they feel is misery due to the neglect that they feel from their family. The community that they live in is then the one place where they try and find themselves after they leave the idea of the family; then the decision to disconnect from their community becomes the phase that occurs next. Their true nature can then no longer be found within the environment and location they grew up knowing they result to separation from the world they know and go off by themselves.

    In Baldwin’s “Here be Dragons” he addresses the issues of loneliness and isolation in many ways. In the end, he comes to the conclusion that everyone has a part of everyone else inside of him or her, much like a yin yang: “…we are all androgynous…because each of us, helplessly and forever, contains the other-male in female, female in male, white in black and black in white. We are a part of each other”(160). If we are all a part of each other, then we do not need to try to keep up with the current of society to stay connected with the world. We can go wherever we please, whenever and however, and never have to fear the loss of the vital links that keep humans human.

  • Family Systems Theory

    Differentiation of self will be explored, as well as how it relates to a church congregation. Furthermore, “the central premise of this theory is that one must resolve all emotional issues with the family of origin, rather than reject reactively or accept passively that family, before one can become a mature and healthy individual” (Charles, 2001, p. 280). Bowen believed that the change in the self occurred through the change in relationships with others, so he encouraged the client to reconnect with the nuclear family members and resolve all emotional issues with them. This is because Bowen believed that unresolved conflicts with the family of origin would catch up with the client and affect his or her present relationships. Also, conflicts do not exist in the person, but in the family system.

    Complete withdrawal of human connection and isolation for long periods of time can lead to permanent scarring of emotions and can even lead to madness as seen in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Without someone to talk to or share your feelings with, you become less human as time goes on and turn to other sources, whether it be drugs, an obsession with something you’re interested in as Victor was in science and life, or violence, as portrayed by the monster. Family, whether it be blood or not, is an important part of sculpting human characteristics, and can keep us from becoming monstrous and evil.

    This “other community” comes into being when individuals’ lives connect or bump up against one another without necessarily having anything in common. These interactions can arrive inexplicably. It is often difficult to understand these “others” whom we do not share the same qualities of the rational community, although we recognize them as individuals. We may recognize our shared vulnerability, and it supersedes that although our ethical responsibilities have no clear rational command, they nevertheless make demands upon us.

    In his book Deepening Community : Finding Joy Together in Chaotic Times Paul Born states that “no amount of innovation, individual brilliance, or money can transform our broken society as effectively and sustainably as building community” (1). Having people to go to and express your feelings to is important because it helps relieve emotional stress that could be problematic. Although responsibility can sometimes be painful because the outcome can be unexpected and disastrous. Victor Frankenstein creates this creator who views the world in a naive and child life way because Frankenstein fails to accept the consequences of his actions. The creature is rejected by anyone who comes in contact with him and he asks Frankenstein “why did you form a monster so hideous that even YOU turned from me in disgust?” (Shelley 8).

  • A Reflection Of The Interaction Between Self And Society

    In general, individual cannot be built without the continuous outpouring him or her into the society for understanding his or her position and identity. It is impossible that an infant is able to figure out he or she is a human being before he or she has the conception about “human being.” A man cannot know whether he is smart or not without comparison with other men. Therefore, all information about an individual must be obtained from other individuals in one society. The biological process of being a social individual is the time when the individual interacts with an outside social environment in both physical and emotional ways. The reason why an individual has to touch and output outside environment is the incompleteness of society. That is, there is no society which does not base on human beings because society is not a biologically extraneous phenomenon, and the society must be shaped by activities of every individual. With the continual establishment of the relationship between every individuals and social world, the existence of society become real. In short, the broader social world is the product of the activities of human

  • Loneliness and Acceptance

    ...e or friendship. We are taught that we don't have an identity if we are alone. Which is why we treat loneliness as a disease, one to be avoided at any cost. Loneliness is viewed as an inadequacy of our personalities. Though all of us are taught to be independent, our independence is superficial. We can cook, clean, and do our laundry but we can't seem to take care of our emotions independently. We are taught that we need to share all our emotions. And I believe that however hard we search we can never get the kind of understanding that we are looking for. We are taught to be uncomfortable in our own world. Society conditions us to believe that we are inadequately equipped to be alone and content. And that alone always means lonely.
