By Instinct Different is Normal
Theory: Human rebellion
By: Eric Holt
Our children's ability to learn is in large part feed by instinctive curiosity. I can recall myself using the excuse, "but...'s parents let him stay out late," even though my entire life i was raised by my families rules, the only thing i could from experience, call normal. My friends house was different than mine, and thus had to be normal.
This belief allows for experimentation, changes in perspective. Because of our instinctive rebellion we seek different and by bonding with other seekers create a sub-culture with combined resources to exploit the norm and make the different prominent and thus norm. The process continues.
Because cultures shift, they sometimes bump and cross paths this causing a in-culture phenomenon to become a multi-culture phenomenon and now the majority percentage. Something that would normally be popular within a sub-culture is now main stream and normal. Different is now normal.
Human rebellion feeds this need to be different.
Some people are just slower than others, and a little less human.
