Paranoia

Filed under: Trust — Rory @ 5:48 pm

While reading the excerpt from “The Great Good Place”, the idea of trust often popped into my head. Being American born, I can definitely agree with a lot of the theories and opinions mentioned in the reading. Most of America is paranoid, especially the suburbs. Most of us don’t have these informal places to gather and socialize, so in return we never really get to know our neighbors. Because of the lack of introduction, we start to form paranoid opinions about them. The nightly news tells us about all the murders, kidnappings, and rapes. The government talks about the emergence of terrorism amongst us. And, since we have no real place to meet and disprove all these rumors it just simply marinates within us. It almost seems like someone has put all the pieces in place for a socially retarded, emotionally overcompensating, and excessively paranoid America. It’s funny that a fix for all these deep and tangled problems is simply to give us a place to meet each other. An informal place that allows us to casually encounter one another and befriend each other at a pace that is suitable for all of us.

It sorta remind me of what you’re supposed to do when you’re getting two dogs to befriend each other. You bring them both to a place that neither of them feel in control of, like a public park, so that there is no preceded dominance. They are essentially on equal footing.

Project proposal to follow.
