Among other issues, each of the articles in this module considers how we might respond to the ways that social environments and norms constrain us. about a boy finding that school culture does not value his preferred ways of behaving, david brooks imagines,
in kindergarten, heâd wonder why he just couldnât be good. by junior high, heâd lose interest in trying and his grades would plummet.
then heâd rebel. if the official school culture was Ăźber-nurturing, heâd be Ăźber-crude. if it valued cooperation and sensitivity, heâd devote his mental energies to violent video games and aggressive music.
in his bookâs prologue, âprelude: the barbershop,â vershawn ashanti young describes his ambivalence about trying (and failing) to fit in as a âhomeboyâ and discusses the academic and economic success he eventually chose to pursue. because of his choices, he reflects, âi didnât have to fight to get out of the ghetto. i was kicked out.â
and finally, audre lorde suggests that people may try at all costs to accommodate socially imposed constraints, writing, âwhat are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence? â lorde, however, also suggests an alternative to either suffering silently to fit in or rebellingâshe encourages listeners and readers to speak out and use language and action to change the social conditions of our lives.
after you have considered lordeâs question above and the alternative she subsequently proposes, write a speech, a letter (to an individual or organization privately or openlyâthat is, addressed to an individual but public), or a public service announcement that proposes meaningful change in your community related to the issues raised in these readings. decide on an audience to addressâyour classmates; parents; younger (or older) students; coaches; administrators; teachers; church, city, or community officialsâand compose an argument both describing a particular âtyrann[y]â or challenge and proposing changes that may improve the lives of those who endure it. like butler, tannen, brooks, young, and lorde, you may use your own or othersâ personal experiences (including those of the five authors in this module), hypothetical situations, and reflections to make your case.
