Terica post#20: the threat to society is ourselves

I always knew our society supported racism but I think the book just made me realize how much. Birdie is constantly told who to be and what to believe by other people. She has yet to find who she is apart from everyone else’s ideals. It made me think about the world and how people are following other people’s beliefs and ideals. We feel as if we are coming into the world with fresh new eyes. Yet have the time our vision is covered by someone else’s view. Most people don’t question their beliefs  and values. They don’t take the time to think about the whys and what if. If we took more time to think about the what ifs and whys, maybe this world would could be a little different.
