About This Quote

To me, this quote perfectly summarizes the generation that is given to us today. When it comes to the education system, we are all "bland, tranquilized, life-adjusted, group-integrated sorts of faces." We’re told what we should do and how we should live our lives. The people who were around during the 1960s generation have a lot to say about all this, but they have been "group-integrated" as well. They have been socialized into a world of conformity and groupthink.
