A room with little view

A room with little to no substantial view is what I saw in the movie "A room with a view" why is that? In the 1800's we see the blatant discrimination the Italian and British had upon woman acting out of the normative character. This can be seen on how people treated the protagonist for her particular way of being. This is actually still a constant threat in our current society, we live in a room with a little view. Meaning that society tries to establish a standard norm for anything in existence, they try to create a standard way of being for people when it doesn't necessarily mean its right. If society deems murder as something just, would that mean it is correct in all sense, the reply to this depends on the person, it depends on how you truly view right from wrong. Instead of this, people attach themselves to the collective thought rather than remaining with their individual sense of duality, all due to it being 'easier' since going with the flow is better than riding against it.

In the movie we see how very few would go against it, but it seems futile no? Why does it seem so futile to go up current? Why do very few try that? Well it is due to indoctrination, Imagine your whole life going in a single direction of forward, you don't do anything but go forward. Other than going forward there is nothing else but forward. After a while a friend comes up to you and tells you that there is another direction(backwards). The first reaction you might hence is negation, I mean all your life you were taught the forward was the single most important and only direction, how could there be two?After that there will be an incidental mental breakdown that will force the mind to choose whether what society says is true or not. In the end, it is a fifty fifty thing, personally I am not a big fan of collectivism, I prefer an individualistic society of thinkers than a unified society of hollowed heads.

This is basically what I think

  1. O.O What a creepy image, though it helps represent the message you're trying to give.

  2. People simply need to fit into something and be part of a community or group (hence why people follow trends and many times choose the most popular option), thus they adapt society's customs. If people went their own way, then they will just find someone to form a group (like in school, where there is a group of rockers, and another of nerds, etc.) with its own rules and ideas.
