Tyler Hemphill (FGCU) Popularity
Popularity affects society in many ways. It is overlooked way to much in your high schools, and middle schools today. There is an extreme amount of social problems that come about from this overly important subject. It disrupts the way individuals view a person, or group of people, and it confuses them on their priorities. It also destroys potential relationships for the future.
Popularity disrupts the way individuals view a person or group in many ways. It can be in a negative or positive way. A negative way would be for one popular individual to have a conflict with another popular individual, and for one of the two individuals to be each a member of a “popular” group. When this happens, the groups gets a bad reputation of not liking each other, and this can form future gangs, or rivals between Innocent people in each group.
Popularity confuses individuals on their priorities. This aspect of society really effects those in middle and high school. When people worry about popularity, they forget the whole reason their in school. A lot of students grades suffer due to trying to be in the popular group. I believe if there was no popularity, students would learn more about themselves, and they would be much better students.Most students try to be popular to fit in a certain group, or to look cool in front of the opposite sex. It has been proven that sex segregated schools have better SAT scores than regular public nonsegregated schools.
