We want to hear it. Send us your thoughts: [email protected] EDITORIAL Introverts matter too After 18 years of grueling life experiences, we finally became college students. But despite the changes in intellectual and emotional maturity that college demands, there are still certain social dynamics that followed us into our collegiate years and will follow us throughout our lives. Only two weeks into the semester, it’s already clear who the outspoken, reserved or funny students are. These natural dispositions come with an unbalanced wealth of social, professional and emotional implications as a result of stereotyping. In most social, professional or academic settings, a funny, sociable and conversational disposition is often preferred to more reserved, introverted or contemplative demeanors. As a result, individuals with more reticent personalities are often written off, disregarded or simply forgotten. They’re unjustly disadvantaged. The term privilege is often used in the discussion of social inequalities to describe unearned rights or advantages given to members of one group, while members of outside groups are not granted similar rights.
