Yes, I agree that his life ended because of that dare. If he hasn’t accepted the dare, he wouldn’t have gone to GenTech and he would not have become Project Kata. It’s amazing how one decision can change your life forever.Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑01 Apr 2020, 01:29 For Kalin Taylor, hos entire life was derailed (probably ended) after he was caught in GenTech and forced into the life of Project Kata. He experienced inhumanity from the scientists and lost the rights of his own body, all because he accepted a dangerous dare.
Do you agree that Kalin Taylor's life was ended due to the dare?
What cautonary tale can you draw from the story due to this dare?

Perhaps in this future world of clones, a new brand of social psychology will develop. The clones might look human, and be encouraged to act human, but the study of their needs to be social would make a whole new science.raindropreader wrote: ↑14 Apr 2020, 16:52 I’m very interested and intrigued by social psychology. I believe we all greatly underestimate the power of needing to be seen as part of a group and socially accepted. There’s been experiments done that show how we humans treat those who do not comply to social norms, otherwise known as deviants. How Kata acted was all too familiar to how the majority of us act. We just want to be accepted. I do have to agree that his life ended because of the actions he took in an attempt to comply to social norms and be accepted by his peers.

Absolutely. I think that if he had found a group of like minded individuals that were all not socially accepted to the larger majority but all accepted in their own small social group it would’ve lessened his need to follow the initiation.Barbara6886 wrote: ↑17 Apr 2020, 11:31 Peer pressure and the desire to fit in are strong driving forces for many people. Kalin’s need for acceptance does lead to his downfall and imprisonment by GenTech. Maybe if he had been given that acceptance in his early life he would have not fallen for the initiation stunt given to him.
