sociaty/expirence

I think that both society and expirence shapes the individual, because if you are brought up to do things a certain way then you might continue to do things that way just because you learned from sociaty that you are supposed to do things like that, but Expirences you have can also shape the individual because if somebody goes through some expirence that realy effected them they might think about things diffrently and change the way they used to do things. Even if the things they were in the habbit of doing before were set for them by sociaty, there reasons for doing it might change if an expirence leads them to think differntly of it.

Society and the experience that one faces shapes the individual. One cannot just say it one or the other. Even as child one seems to pick up on society's views. Just like in the book "Frankenstein", Frankenstein wants some one to talk to and he sees a child, and hopes that society's views on whats ugly and what is not has not corrupted the child's mind. But, when Frankenstein tries to talk to the child he tries to run away. The child already knows what is ugly and what is not, and is afriad of what he sees. Or is it the people he is around all the time that made him fear Frankstein. I feel it is a little bit of both. Every one in the town that the child lives in wont talk to him because the way he looks. They fear him as he walks down the street, afriad that he will try to hurt him; they throw rocks at hi, or they run screaming. And when he tries to rescue someone people assume that he is hurting the individual. But, the child is also around his family often and hears how they talk about Frankstein, and in effect that would give the child a bad connotation whenever he sees Frankstien, which would make the child run away from Frankstein once he laid eyes on him. It is not only the experience that shapes the individual, it is also the views of soicety either good or bad can shape someone views, and thoughts.

Society/Experience

Im going to say that both society and experience shape individuals. Society acts in a way that makes the majority of individuals to be dependent. For example: a typical person wants to fit in and feel accepted, which makes them decide to emulate their peers (like thinking and acting like them). As this way of life continues, people start to disagree with certain decisions of their peers because of an experience of just an opinion. This starts to show signs of being independent and that the idea of thinking for yourself for once feels right. So the effects of society get us when were young and clueless but as we mature, we start to break away from the pack and realise that living like everyone else doesnt feel right anymore.

SOCIETY VS. EXPERIENCE

I personally think that both can shape a person. From personal experience I definitely have been influenced by both. Society shapes people when the come out with all these teen magazines making girls and boys feel as though they have to be a certain way. Experience shapes people by who they surround themselves with and what situations they get themselves into. Say if someone died that was close to you, that experience may influence who you become. Likewise for the society ,if you read a magazine that says that some actress is fat when she is Skinner than you,then that may make you self-conscious,which shapes who you are. so from my own experience and opinion both society and experience can shape an individual.

Does society shape the individual or does experience

In my eyes i think that society and experience can both shape an individual and the way they look at life differently. Through my near death experiences which I've had three made me aware of staying out of trouble and prevent myself from danger. When i was little I almost got hit by a man on a dirt bike beside the fact he was going above seventy miles per hour. The other experiences was being chased with a machete in Brockton and a car accident on the rotary in Scituate going eighty miles per hour and knocked over a sign. As a result, one tire blew up, another popped, and the front bumper is cracked. As for me I have continuous back pains and my neck hurts every now and then. No one else got hurt but now I wont look to have too much fun on my spare time. As for the society, peer pressure can get you in trouble and just doing anything to have fun SHOULDN'T BE DONE....
