How deeply does the group influence the individual? To what level? |

Well, we can look at History and see that Civilizations have had Civilizing Effects -- that Civilizations are attractive and tend to appeal to the Barbarians along their edges and parapheral territories. Without much effort these Barbarians go to great lengths almost to Civilize themselves, to go out of their way to participate in Civilization. |

Well, i think that all individuals, are entirely, made up by the group in wich they live, yet there is something that seperates them from the group, something that makes them individuals, and allows diversity in a society, that is concience, and from that concience, derivates, personality, identity, self esteem, and all that , that makes them human *BEINGS* If society didnt have an influence upon indviduals, civilization could not possibly exist, example of this take a newly born, and seperate him from society, he would be a primitive man like those that lived 10 thousand years ago |

Just look at America's current state. Watch the media and you will see the power that the group has over the individual. |

Neruo: "Expect for me ofcourse, I am special. lol. I really think that. I am rather intelligent"
Yes i agree on that, but even when the group plays a role part, in the forming of an individuals being, there is somethin that makes him an individual, and no a collective being, that is his concience, but there are times when an individuals concience is so strong that IT can change the colectivity: |
