Culture
really has an impact on people’s lives. Culture is the way of thinking, acting
and the material objects that together forms a person’s way of life. The Sandy
Hook shooting is a great example. Here is a little recap on what happened. In
2013 a 20 year old boy came to Sandy Hooks School where his mother worked and
shot up the school. Adam Lanza shot 20 kids and 6 adults including his mother.
The schools
shooting is involved in culture because it shows a child not getting enough attention
at home due to his mother not being able to give him proper attention nor
direction. His mother didn’t do a good job setting up rules and guideline that
a parent gives an adolescent. I think that’s what had a strong impact on him. He
probably took action in killing his mother and all those kids is because he
didn't have enough attention at home his mother didn't believed in punishment. She
was so used to punishing him how she would punish kids at school. He probable
had lack of attention so when it came to his beliefs he didn't know which one
to turn to. He was never tough any better. Beliefs are specific ideas that people
hold to be true. His mother thought since she was a teacher, he should of know
better and she thought that probably if he needed help with anything he could
come to her. But at the same time she never actually explained that to him. He
didn't have a symbol in his life. Something to believe in or something to look
up to. He didn't have a male role model. He didn't know who to talk to when it
came down to his personal problems because his mother always stayed so busy. Culture
had a big impact on the 20 year old. He was never use to the norm of society. He
wasn’t able to process what was coming his way from people in the world. And
being able to take an active role in the real world.
The world
was devastated about the whole shooting it happened in Connecticut and it was worldwide.
No one wanted to see this happening to them, especially getting killed at a
young age not even getting to graduate, live life or anything. They were only
in kindergarten. Those children nor the teachers deserved that. The teachers
had families that they went home to and didn’t even make it home to them all
because he let life get the best of him. I don’t think that they should of hide
anything from the kids, but at the same time help the kids understand what
happened. I think that Adam wanted attention that why he shot up the school. The
20 year old that killed all those people was a victim of society. He couldn’t handle
the real world.
The world
is very crazy place. The reason I say this is because 20 people or more are
shot in Chicago. And it’s just a norm compare to sandy hooks. They made a big
deal out of Adam killing 20 kids, but in Chicago 20 kids are shot each day. The
reason why the world focused on him is because he was an individual who was
seeking out attention and they want to know why he did that and most of the shooting
in Chicago are gang related. Chicago is
a big deal the look over that but when on guy come and shoots up 20 kids in one
day and kills his self-theirs a big deal. But this guy targeted the innocent
and we want to know why.
In
conclusion, around world people kill them self-every day, because they can’t
deal with the everyday norms, of waking up and fear of the world accepting them.
People are not use to society and what it has to offer that's what he killed
his mother and himself after he killed everyone.
