Brotherhood has a strong effect on a young man. It controls
the urges of being belonged. In a brotherhood a young man gets this familial
aspect to life. Belonging to something far greater than their self. This causes
the young man to want to prove himself to the brotherhood because of the
constant state of comfort. However, the proof can be asserted in two different
ways, a negative way and a positive way. Negative aspects are seen over and
over again through organizations with negative motives; for example gangs and killing
others to belong in a group. One the other side, positive aspects of a
brotherhood are clubs; for example a dance club. Where proving yourself leads
to self-growth and positive reinforcement from the group. What these two
aspect, negative and positive, have is common is a single powerful feeling of
guilt if letting members of the group down, family members. This feeling can
cause self petty or even resentment from the group depending on the scenario.
The negative side to a brotherhood could end your life if you let members down.
However, on the positive side of a brotherhood, letting members down can lead
to them encouraging you to be better. To my readers, choose your brotherhood
wisely! Because the ones that want to see you succeed in life will lift you
higher!
