  5. There are standards in our culture and I am thinking right now but I’m not supposed to be. Sorry. I don’t like standards set upon us. I want to create my own standards. I have a cold and I really don’t like it. That doesn’t have anything to do with standards. The time is running out and I have nothing to say about the word standard. Archetypes stink.

  13. there are standards kept and met and put in place but rarely are people keen to be considered standard. they want to be above average, to exceed. that’s our major problem in life. we are expected to be standard, but we need to push for more. so many reach that middle ground and give up. standards should be raised. we should push for more. we won’t be ashamed to fail if what we pushed for was the highest possible point.

  14. standards differ from person to person, culture to culture. Do our standards inhibit us from connecting truly to others? How do we come by our standards? Are they of a noble cause?

  19. standards are made to be broken; they are not ideals nor are they benchmarks. they are just someone’s idea of a good starting-off place to gauge anything. unfortunately most people never strive to exceed standards; theirs or others.

  20. Standard? What on earth do I say about that? Okay, there are many standards and students has to live upto in our schools. We say 1st or 2nd standard while referring o their years, but the standards present otherwise in the school is rarely ytalked about. Either the teaching standads in a school is god or its bad but no one looks at that now. People always look at popularity and big names when they want their kids to stuidy in a particulaer institution.

  22. a standard opinion, well that has to be a very boring opinion. Rather have an outstanding, otherwise, contradictory opinion. Even a boring opinion would at least just disappear, but a standard opinion just seems to be boring.

  25. There are many standards in life, standards of living, standards of conduct.. and we generally expect people in high visibility positions to live to a higher standard.. why not require EVERYONE to live by the same standard. Everyone… and treat everyone the same way regardless of who they are or if they have money or family influence or not.

  27. standards of living, standards people are held up to. its all garbage! hrmmmmmmm I like this idea its kind of like this one HS classwhere we had a journal and had to do the same thing basically just not with a single word. Standards are bogus, though sometimes they are necessary so that everybody is on the same page and in the same frame of mind.

  29. this is something that you need.. it is the basic, the classical thing. i’m not sure what else there is but the most fundamental and basic thing to a thing. when you say standard, it is implied to be the norm, or the classical model fof the thing. it oculd be description of size, shape, wear, colour, measurement, weight, notation. and such. and if this is to go on for any logner this will end up being anentirely boring and useless piece of text.
