Final Research Topic

My final research topic will be on rejecting the idea that people are sheep. Over history there have been incidents where people have been seen making terrible choices en masse. These events inspired the hypothesis that people are sheep, that they just go along with the crowd despite consideration for what would be considered morally-correct. The answer is deeper though, because the reasons why people make the choices they do are varied and complex. What might be right to one person could be considered to be wrong by another person. In the end, people do what THEY believe is right. Of course people's moral beliefs are open to manipulation, but that does not mean that people are mindless drones obeying commands without regard to their own beliefs. There are many examples today of people fighting back at what they believe to be systematic injustices, which would not be possible if people were sheep. The idea that people are sheep is deeply flawed, and leaves no room for the individuality and strength that people truly possess.
