Intro: Being unique from others consumes us with the satisfaction of being seen as a individual. It is a conflict many face in todays society, where people get praised for brand name clothes and simply being materialistic. Though we can blame the media for the mentality we have acquired today. We are beginning to prioritize how total strangers perceive us through physical attributes over bonds in which we acquire that have sentimental values.
a. The value of fashion in teens today.
b. My brother's decision to get a tatoo.
Despite the resistance my mom gives towards his decision, he finds self-satisfaction of getting the tatoo overwhelms.
c. "We Real Cool" poem.
The teens in the poem are satisfied with the "badass" reputation they are acheiving through actions that society would consider wrong. Piercings, body ink, etc. are fashions that makes people feel like a rebel.
