How do we as members of a society decide which differences matter and which do not?
• We as a society set a standard (a "model Citizen") for people to match. Anyone above or below this standard is seen as different.
• We also tend to set ourselves as the standard and compare everyone to our self.

How do these decisions shape our ideas about what it means to be a human being in the 21st
century?
• We believe anyone different from a "model citizen" is different.
• A "model citizen" blends into society in both the way they look and the way they act.
