week 4 dq post 2 revision

 

I am drawn to the psychology of obedience because I am so not a obedient person and I dislike conformity to an extreme amount. Most authorities have to work hard to convince me to follow rules, the reward has to be extreme for me to follow a set of rules I do not think are good. Which means I can be bought off, but the situation has to be in my moral code. No matter how great the reward is, if it goes against my moral code, I find myself in extreme difficulty in making myself do it.

The number of times my moms family tried to get me to do things which were and are against my moral code were few and far between. Mostly because the second I started to realize “this is wrong”, there was not much they could do to make me do it. The older I got the more I refused, flat out.

I have been working on my research for most of my life. Although I have made huge changes to my think tank on line presence in the last week, so anyone who looked at it before would see just an editing mistake, now it will take you a year to read it. I do not conform easily.

My idea for this degree dissertation is to have an examination of scholars hwo do not function in any real understanding of a normal setting. I am so outside the norm, I make outsiders look normal. I am entirely fine with the way I am, others have issues with me, but that is their problem.

But being on the outside of society causes problems. The squeeky wheel being forced back into conformity has been an issue I have faced since I was a young child. If course previous to the age of 6, my envirohmetn was so radically different than post age 6 the two are difficult to compare. I was born and paritaly brought up in a city my ancestors had founded. Although the Prussian army who came through circa 1810 will violently disagree, but the number of pieces of evidence which have to be ignored to allow those fictions to become reality is on the extreme side of significant.  The Heidelberg Library for one, the archaeology of the Maples for another. The previous building destoyreed crica 1757, a building much larger than the Maples; which was on the Ohio state registry of historical buildings up till 1985 when it was torn down.

In Colorado the exact opposite, no one knew me, and I walked into a political situation which can be described as the last gasps of the civil war in old Colorado city. A back  up capital for the confederacy was/is located in Old Colorado City under the descendants of the Davis Hayes family. Although 5 generations from Jefferson and his daughter, does not make for a solid governmental organizational structure. I was present during the transition when her grandson died in the early 1970s and the family struggled to regroup. My addition to the culture of Old Colordo City was for the most part unwelcome. I was forced into obedience more than once, and I resented every step of the way.
