As the next general election hour glass starts to shift, Americans ponder to make their stance on being conservative or liberal.  These terms are normally  associated with citizens falling on either side of dichotomies associated with race, political affiliation, age and other ways people tend to segregate and associate with each-other.  Conservatism is normally associated with "retaining traditional social institutions" or as some may see it, natural selection.  Conservatism has historically...

Historic behaviorists and psychologists toiled to determine the triggers of an individual's perception of their place in and view of their surroundings. Certainly, we want to believe there is a cookie cutting process that guarantees the traditional outcome, outcome to the end of heterosexual normalcy, at least we all hope. Conversely and perhaps controversially a substantial sample of the population doesn't see themselves as "OK" or their surroundings as "OK" as they fit in it. Herein lies...

Ever notice people how some people never seem to fit in? It's difficult to categorize them less the obvious demographic they belong to, put them in a box or make them stay in their lane.  In most cases I've seen and know of (self included), this dilemma is because they are not supposed to fit in, fall in  and conform.
