By doing this it leaves people with the options of exploring many different types of cultures. After taking this class, I have a way greater understanding about literature but imagine if I were to read more minority and women writers material. The only thing that the social constructed traditions are doing to people is putting a limitations on our understanding of the real world. In general, people are afraid of change, afraid to let go of previously held beliefs and venture into unchartered territory. You are right, there is a change coming, but I doubt it will be in my lifetime.
Society sets the rules and has become quite comfortable in the outcomes of such rules.
Comfort makes the world go around and anything to upset that will be fought against, even if it is beneficial for the whole. The truth is, just because the majority rules doesn't mean they are right.
