The world that each one of us lives in is basically shapes about 75% of who we are. The only things that we can change about our worlds is the things we can control which is ourselves and the actions we each as individuals take. Things that the world uses to shape us are things that are uncontrollable like other people. In Silence of the Lambs the main antagonist wanted to shape his world to become a girl, he more or less did and that was all he could do. He did everything in his power to become a girl, he at first took small steps and tried to get a sex change at multiple hospitals. After being turned down too many times he decided that he would just take real women and just use them to achieve his dream of becoming a girl. Clarice the main protagonist of the story was something that he couldn't control and in the end she killed him. He could only control the controllables. Other things that affect your world that is uncontrollable are things like the weather or your family and social class that you are born into. All of these things are chance and after awhile change and go away. Life today is shaped a lot by things like the media and what is seen on T.V. and social media websites. People are highly influenced by the models they see on the internet that virtually look perfect. The idea that you'll never be able to be perfect or that you aren't perfect the way you are is constantly reinforced and learned by kids and adults everywhere. These ads practically give people low self-esteem and other problems like anxiety without even trying. A show like jersey shore is also highly idolized and looked up to even though it is 4 people screwing around. This show alone has influenced people to act more like what they saw on last nights episode. All of this happens because the person thinks that this is the way to act or what they are doing is wrong. That is the part that someone can control.
