Both Kusz and Schwartz gave the reader a sense of how these main characters conform to our society and when is it right to deviate between the norm and unique. 1 When is it better to conform and when is it better to diverge from the norm? As both Kusz and Schwartz related in their stories, their main characters conform to their way of living and how they wanted to be viewed as. Sam, the main character in “The Poncho Bearer”, wore a poncho every Friday that he went to high school. Likewise, Kusz had a nose piercing as a college teacher to show her uniqueness.
He records his research and as of a result the data that he collected didn’t make any sense. For years he didn’t know what went wrong with the experiment conducted. Out of nowhere the answer came to him, they were looking for the wrong Pepsi but what they should have been looking for is the perfect Pepsi’s. He would go and set up a meeting with Pepsi, then tell them what his revelation was. These people would quickly dismiss him because of how crazy it sounds.
CRN:23166 Going to high school is an experience, because walking into any high school for most teenagers is like walking into another world. In one’s opinion high school could be considered a metaphor for the real world because school is a subculture in itself. The text book attests that, “While in school, young people acquire identities and learn patterns of behavior…exposed to a hierarchical, bureaucratic environment...[and schools] emphasize conformity to societal needs...” (Margaret L. Anderson, 2008). Choosing The Breakfast Club to analyze social inequality seemed like a perfect example to write about. The movie explores the relationship amongst high school students who are socially separated, are forced together and find that they had more in common than they initially thought.

The Tinker test is still used by courts today to determine weather a school's disciplinary actions violates student's first amendment rights. The Tinker Standard came about in December of 1965 in Des Moines, Iowa when John F. Tinker younger sister Mary Beth Tinker and friend Christopher Eckhardt decided to wear black armbands to their schools in protest of the Vietnam War and supporting the Christmas Truce called for by Senator Robert F. Kennedy. The principles of Des Moines previously adopted a policy that restricted students from wearing armbands to school. Any student who failed to follow the policy would be sent home immediately and suspended until they decided to follow the schools policy.

Ricky, a retreat-ist, and an openly gay boy who violated most gender norms, was severely harassed and physically assaulted at River High, and because of the lack of institutional support, he eventually dropped out of school. The GSA group, were rebels, who were a politically organized group who worked to change the school’s culture regarding sexual and gender norms. The members of this group did not necessarily identify as gay or to stereotypical ideals of masculinity or femininity, but rather encouraged individual notions of sexual and gender expression. African-American young men were frequently and unfairly disciplined for what the administration perceived as overly aggressive heterosexist behavior, as was the case concerning bodily contact during school dances.
They asked the courts to overrule the school’s decision to punish the students for wearing the armbands. The district court dismissed the case, and the students appealed the decision which took the case to the federal court of appeals.
