Commentary: Alike

This educational and entertaining cartoon is an excellent resource for reflection on social norms. Should we conform to customs and accept the ways of thinking or acting of the majority? In our societies which are trying to standardize, can we think outside the box? The use of color to express the characters' state of mind is very interesting. A particularly interesting theme to study in class with students from CP. What is the social influence on our behavior? Why respect social norms? Not to be noticed? Not to be left out? Integrate more easily into a group? Does being different and breaking free from the constraints of our society harm others? Using examples of everyday situations, children will be able to think about conformity. Conformity in behavior, conformity in food, clothing.
