First off, the everyday, boring me stuff.
I finally re-trained with the TDC. We had a full fledged debate, and I was prime minister. And i did bad. Very, very bad. Debating with almost pros or at least, people with a LOT more experience in debating than me,made me feel nothing short of of being stupid and ineefectual unable. I totally messed up my speech, i didn’t make things clear, and all of us were just trying to grab the argument from each other. I didn’t even make a point of information. OMG. I’m such a loser.
Now, for the probably socially relevant part of my post.
Last night i watched this show on MTV, 8th and Ocean. A show about models trying to make it big in California if i’m not mistaken. Yes, and well in the episode, one of the male models, Vince, he was freaking late for a show, and his agency’s already pissed off at him. He enters around 15 minutes before showtime, then he loiters around the runway (in the dressing room) until it’s almost two minutes before his call, and he still hasn’t got his clothes on, and his makeup’s all messed up.
And i was screaming the whole time: "Stupid idiot! you’re going to lose your damned job! D:"
Right. And anyways, with all the news of Madrid’s fashion week barring skinny models from their runways and such, and this creating a ripple effect in the fashion industry, worldwide, i thought it was obvious more or less, that people and the ‘masses" if you will let me call them such, have sunk to a new low.
Everyone is now too image/fashion/appearance conscious. But not in the sense fo expressing their individuality with how they look like. Everyone (in general), take for example Philippine society, everyone looks oh-so-similar.
Take your pick, a tight-fitting polo shirt with the collar up, a tight-fitting t-shirt with some slogan on it/rocker-type design on it, then a hair-do that may be enough to rival a baby shark, or some other hair-do that look like they were taken out of the pages of a glossy magazine.
My point is that EVERYONE HAS TURNED INTO CLONES OF EACH OTHER.
And this, is very sad. Even individuality is pre-packaged into some marketing stunt, wherein mass media spreads the notion of "individualtiy" as akin to taking styles that are outrageous, but still taken by the majority. In essence, individuality has now turned into nothing.
It’s sad to know that the youth and the adults no longer take into importance the fact that we need to distinguish ourselves from everybody else. Everyone is just content with looking, and acting like everyone else, and this attitude pervades other sectors of society.
As a result, i think that the majority hold ALL the same opinions. For example, i think majority of the people would equate drinking alcohol as a group would equate to a good time.
If everyone holds a similar opinion, how then will there be change? Change can only be spurred only if we choose to deviate from what society percieves as common, same, and possibly acceptable. But here is a sadder fact: If one goes against society, inevitably, one will lose. The system will throw you out.
So what exactly am i trying to say?
Perhaps what i mean is since the majority hold indifference for the factors that affect public safety and security and such, the effect of our "mass media", that is, the effect that it makes it seem better for everyone to hold the same opinion, taste and views.
This effect makes it difficult for us to garner the much needed change in our society as a whole.
The masses now give priority to what clothing or hairstyle would suit themselves than as to what the effect the "War on terror" have on international beliefs. Perhaps now, as a person, you, the reader lavish more importance as to what shirt will make you look good and such, rather than thinking of what effect poverty has on our country.
Present society is built upon the want of luxury. Then wants and desires that people want. Beauty. Present society seems to build on the hatred of hardships, the undesirable, and the dislike of socially relevant matter that which is not important to the world of the stars/rich/popular people and such.
Basically, i am just rambling, and i intended to launch a full post on how the fashion industry and the masses hamper creativity and individual expression. yes, including a little put down on the dolls of this industry, the models.
But whatever, more on that later.
What is important, i think i got a blurry point across. 
I mean, change will never happen if we always just go with the flow. We need to delineate from the norms in order for a change to happen. YES. IMHO, at least.
