Hello, dear students!

I would like to present to your attention the topic: “Is it necessary to have your own opinion?” I brought up this topic because it worries me very much. Is it bad or good to have your own opinion? Do not confuse “your own opinion” with “imposed opinion”. I often hear from my friend, “what a difficult person you are, there’s no way to convince you.” I don't want to hear that about myself. I'm a difficult person because I don't accept other people's opinions as my own??? You live, think as you want, have your own dreams and plans. Then a person appears (not necessarily a friend) who tries to impose his opinion on you. Why does a conflict of opinions occur? For example: what difference does it make how you wash the floor? Should you move the mop back and forth or from left to right? And this is where expressing “your opinion” begins.

Parable: “A man came to the temple. And then someone comes up to him and says: “You’re holding your hands wrong!” The second one runs up: “You’re not standing there!” The third one grumbles: “He’s not dressed like that!” From behind they pulled back: “You’re baptizing yourself incorrectly!”... Finally, one woman came up and said to him: “You know, you should have left the church, bought yourself a book about how to behave here, and then come in!” A man came out of the temple, sat down on a bench and cried bitterly. He hears a voice from the sky: - Why aren’t they letting you in? The man raised his tear-stained face and said: “They won’t let me in!” “Don’t cry, they won’t let me in there either...”

I think that many people have their own opinion, but they are not used to bringing it up for discussion, for fear of being misunderstood, ridiculed and covered in “dirt,” which is basically what happens...

“Public opinion rules the people.”

Blaise Pascal.

A person in his actions often tries to follow the opinion of the majority. It’s as if he’s afraid to have his own opinion and argue for it.

Thank you for your attention.

(355 words) Any person feels special and says to himself: “Everything will be different for me.” And it could have been if he had not fallen under the influence of society, and it imposes on us certain stereotypes of behavior. People believe the majority and follow its laws. A few manage to escape, while the rest get bogged down in this swamp and continue the work of their predecessors - imposing useless templates.

For example, in Chekhov’s play “The Cherry Orchard” the decisive influence of the environment on the fate of an individual is striking. The heroes are captive to the prejudices of their class, so they are deprived of the opportunity to understand each other. Ranevskaya is as infantile, cutesy and exalted as all typical noblewomen of her age. Therefore, even under the threat of bankruptcy, she cannot take responsibility for the estate and decide its fate. Her practical ignorance explains why this woman always became a victim of deception: the same lover robbed her and abandoned her. And you don’t feel sorry for her, because she follows class stereotypes of behavior: a reckless, idle life, contempt for servants (she forgets the devoted Firs in a house doomed to destruction), frivolity and an eternal craving for pleasure. Society controls it: it was it that determined the tragic fate of the impoverished and debt-ridden landowners.

In Chekhov's play "Three Sisters" the same picture is observed: smart, talented, educated girls and their no less promising brother become ordinary and sad philistines under the influence of the county town, from where they were so eager to escape. Local society with its banal and vulgar set of values ​​is represented in the image of Natasha, Andrei's wife. At first she pretends to be modest and virtuous, but after marriage she completely takes over the house and becomes the sovereign mistress. Everything about her is rude and vulgar, because she is only interested in the world of things. This suffocating atmosphere of routine and everyday life forever keeps Andrei in the grip of everyday life and cuts off his path to his calling - a professorship in the capital. No one is going “to Moscow”; the provincial environment has sucked in more victims.

Thus, society really rules a person, because the individual becomes dependent on it in everything social institutions– kindergarten, school and even at work. The need to “belong” in a group, that is, to fully accept its rules, arises from the fear of being ridiculed for one’s beliefs. However, I believe that true individuality can carve out a path for itself and remain true to itself.

Interesting? Save it on your wall!

Direction " Man and society" is included in the list of topics for the final essay for the 2017/18 academic year.

Below are examples and additional materials to develop the theme of man and society in the final essay.

Essay on the topic: Man and society

Man and society - this is one of the themes of the final essay. The topic is broad, multifaceted and deep.

Man, individual, personality - in this sequence it is customary to build the “path” that people go through in the process of socialization. We are familiar with the last term from social studies lessons. It means the process of integrating a person into society. This is a lifelong journey. That’s right: throughout our lives we interact with society, change under its influence, change it with our ideas, thoughts and deeds.

Society - complex system the interaction of its individuals with all their interests, needs and worldviews. Man is unthinkable without society, just as society is unthinkable without man.

Society generates reason, meaning and will. It is truly legitimate, it concentrates the essence of human existence: everything that distinguishes a person from a biological being and that reveals his rational and spiritual nature. Society shapes the human personality, its social system significant features person as a member of society.

Among decent and educated people everyone tries to be no worse. Similar to that - in bad society For a person, the value of integrity is lost, vicious instincts emerge, and unpleasant actions are allowed. A dysfunctional environment does not condemn this, and sometimes encourages negativity and anger.

A person might or might not have discovered these negative traits, if it were not for the bad society and environment that contributed to this.

An example of arguments and reasoning on the topic of man and society from a work of fiction:

A similar situation was described by Panas Myrny in his novel “Do oxen roar when the manger is full?” When main character novel - Chipka became friends with dubious personalities - Lushnya, Motnya and Rat, then everything good and kind that was in him before disappeared somewhere.

The hero of the novel became cynical and evil, began to steal, and later turned to robbery.

The author delicately depicts an epic picture of the moral fall of man. Drunkenness in the house of the hero of the novel is accompanied by insults to his mother. But Chipka is no longer affected by this; he himself begins to scold his own mother. All this turned into a shame, which later became fatal for Chipka. Soon he reached the point of murder. There was nothing human left in him, since he followed unworthy people in life.

Without a doubt, society influences a person, his character and personality as a whole.

However, it depends only on the person himself - to heed the good, bright and creative, or to wallow in the abyss of immorality, malice and lawlessness.

An example of an essay on the thematic area “Man and Society” using the example of Dostoevsky’s work “Crime and Punishment”

Throughout the history of mankind, people have been interested in the problems of the relationship between man and society. The tendency to join forces and live together is in our blood. This trait was passed on to us not even from monkeys, but from animals in general. Let us recall such concepts as “flock”, “herd”, “pride”, “shoal”, “swarm”, “herd” - all these words mean a form of coexistence various types animals, fish and birds.

Of course, human society is much more complex than animal societies. This is not surprising - after all, it consists of the most intelligent and developed representatives of the living world.

Many thinkers, philosophers and scientists have sought or tried to create an ideal society where the potential of each member would be revealed and where each individual would be respected and valued.

The course of history has clearly demonstrated that idealistic thoughts do not coexist well with reality. Man has never created an ideal society. At the same time, the best social order in terms of equality and justice, according to scientists, are city-policies in Ancient Greece. Since then, no truly qualitative progress has been achieved.

Still, I believe that every reasonable person should try to contribute to the improvement of society. There are several ways to do this.

The first is the path of educational writers, which consists of a systematic change in the worldview of readers, in the transformation of the existing system of values. This is exactly how Daniel Defoe acted for the good of society, demonstrating with his work “Robinson Crusoe” that even an individual human personality really capable of accomplishing a lot; Jonathan Swift, who with his novel “Gulliver's Travels” clearly showed social injustice and suggested options for salvation, etc.

The second way for a person to change society is radical, aggressive, revolutionary. It is used in a situation where a way out is inevitable, when the contradictions between society and the individual have escalated to the point that they can no longer be resolved through negotiations. Examples of such situations include bourgeois revolutions in England, France, the Russian Empire.

I believe that the second path in literature was most clearly demonstrated by F.M. Dostoevsky in his novel “Crime and Punishment.” The life-worn student Raskolnikov decides to kill the old pawnbroker, who for him is a vivid personification of the social injustice that took place in St. Petersburg in the 19th century. To take from the rich and give to the poor is the goal of his plan. By the way, the slogans of the Bolsheviks were similar, also striving to improve people’s lives, so that those who “were nobody” would become “everyone.” True, the Bolsheviks forgot that one cannot simply endow a person with abilities and talent. Undoubtedly, the desire to make life fairer is noble. But at this price?

The hero of Dostoevsky's novel had another opportunity. He could continue studying, start giving private lessons, a normal future was open to him. However, this path required effort and effort. It’s much easier to kill and rob an old woman, and then do good deeds. Fortunately for Raskolnikov, he is prudent enough to doubt the “rightness” of his choice. (the crime led him to hard labor, but then insight comes).

The confrontation between the personality of Raskolnikov and the society of St. Petersburg mid-19th century ended in defeat for the individual. In principle, it is always difficult for an individual who stands out from the background of society in life. And the problem is often not even in society itself, but in the crowd that enslaves the individual, leveling his individuality.

Society tends to acquire animal traits, turning either into a flock or into a herd.

As a pack, society overcomes adversity, confronts enemies, and gains power and wealth.

By becoming a herd or a crowd, society loses individuality, self-awareness and freedom. Sometimes, without even realizing it.

Man and society are inseparable components of existence. They were, are and will continue to change and transform for a very long time in search of an optimal model of existence.
