  • Running with the Pack pt 2: Leaders and Followers

    Foster

    This message promotes a passive lifestyle. Those who are passive are more easily led. Anyone who has studied group dynamics in any formknows that a stable society is dependent upon the majority of its memebers being Followers and a select few being Leaders. This is essential to survival. If everyone tried to be a Leader, order would never be established and the group would be ruled by argument and strife. Young born into a group are taught how to behave and what is expected of them. This is called socialization. One of the manners by which our young are socialized, as pointed out in the previous entry, is certainly quite odd. A box spewing out subtle propaganda telling our citizens that following is good, desirable, almost painless. That attempting to change anything will be nothing short of destructive.

    As far as determinng roles goes, even confusion is desired over certainty. Those who are confused may question their station in life but are ill-equipped to do anything in regards to changing it. Those who navigate through the conflicting messages and who become determined to reach a goal are, in essence, the strongest of the pack. The ones whos goals are actually reached become Leaders. And while most of the leaders attempt to explain the steps necessary to achieve sucess, few followers are apt to really shed the morals pressed upon them as youths and fully understand. They fail to grasp their potential and flounder in confusion and unhappiness. But even babies know that unhappiness is not a good feeling. Shouldnt our society, in manufacturing Followers and selecting Leaders, be concerned with seeing that the Followers are at least content in their roles..?
