White Paper

So how does a blank, 8 by 11 1/2 piece of paper represent all of humanity?.....So when Mr.Summers first presented this in class I was little confused and not all clear on the assignment. Then I actually started thinking about the question he pose and it all fit. All of humanity, regarless of religion, race, sex, etc., we all conform to our society. We all follow certain rules, believe in certain things, and act a certain way because we all want to fit it. We kind of do it subconsciously sometimes, but at the same time we are quite aware why we do it. The sharp edges and the four sides of the paper represent humanity's conformity to the established rules of societies, and how they can't be changed which are the sharp edges. The blankess of it represents the idea that we can paint and draw all kinds of people from all over the world, but in the end we end up drawing the same person because we all manage to somehow connect even though we live in different extremes of the world. Even if the paper is torn to pieces, riped in half, made into a ball it doesn't change what it stands for.There are many interpretations of how the white piece of paper represents humanity, but in the end it represents humanity as a whole with one specific personality.
