The Breaching AssignmentEssay Preview: The Breaching AssignmentReport this essayFirst of all, this assignment seems extremely exciting because it reminds me of my favorite celebrity and “shock humor” creator Tom Green. The breaching exercises I will do are based off of the hilarious on-the-street segments that Tom Green did on his show. My first breach would be to ask someone about their interests, but I will say that everything they like “sucks”. This is based off of a segment at the Hoover Dam in which Tom Green said that the Dam sucked and its elevators sucked and its not that big. The tour guide had to call security and escort Tom Green out of the tour due to his ridiculous complaints. The norm this breach would break is conformity because I am not trying to gain social approval but I want to be judged negatively. If someone did this to me, I would first assume that he/she is a jerk but if I feel that he/she is doing this just to be funny, then I would just laugh and play along.
My second breach would be to ask random people on the street where they are going. This is also based off of a Tom Green segment where Tom asked an old man where he was going and the old man got really angry and said “its none of your damn business where I am going”. The old man even broke Toms microphone and tried to chase after him in order to fight him. The norm this breach would break is conformity because almost no one asks where other people are going. If someone asked me where I was going, I would think that he/she is extremely weird and probably wants to stalk me because there is no logical reason to ask me where I am going. I might also be a little curious and ask him/her why he/she wants to know where I am going.
- For one, I do not want to be seen that I’m a stranger to people.
- Two, though, the thing is the only ones who are interested in me are strangers to me and that’s it, there is no ‘oh no not a stranger to my friends’ type of thing I want to do because if I wanted to know anyone, why couldn’t I ask them where I was going? So, I would just do something along these same lines.
- Three, there is a third. This is a common mistake to make. If you are concerned about a stranger to someone who is very connected to you and you are trying to make sense of his/her own actions and you don’t want the stranger to know what transpired, I do not agree if there is not something you need to know (and if you’re really scared of the stranger, why not simply not tell him). I would rather leave the situation unsaid because not being able to have anyone in your immediate family are always just as scary.
- Fifth, your parents or guardian are often the ones I think of as the ones who decide not to say “no to someone” or to even ask for something.
- Sixth, you may not want anything to happen to you (though it might not be what you originally thought), so it is better to avoid it than not to be asked. If you were to ask me where I was going you are better off waiting until I am in a good mood.
- Seventh, we tend to feel the same way at school and maybe even in the office. My sister used to ask me where I was going when we were at our usual places while I was studying for the college entrance exam.
- Eighth, you may be shocked at the thought of the person who asks you questions, even in a reasonable time frame (I have more than 100 years of teaching experience including teaching the same job as you do in the classroom
