Out...Cast

The world needs out cast plain and simple. if the world different have outcast how would people stand out? outcast are even have outcast. a prime example of that would be the idea that those people who don't like rap music but love country, the people who might like rap might outcast them because of their choice in music. outcast are every where you look. there here at Columbia and there also in Harvard. some of the worlds most famous people were and still are considered outcast. for example George Bush... a lot of people don't like him as a president or as a person. But no matter what he is going going to be a part of our society.
Outcast fit into the world because what or who we consider outcast, they maybe looking back at you and considering you an outcast. these people play a major role. some clicks are formed around outcast, it's who you are as a person and what you believe or what your morals are, are the things that allow you to LABEL people in our society as outcast. To me the outcast fits in the world perfectly fine. now there may be some circumstances of which come with this label but that's not anything that you can control. So how would you over come this..you CANT.
and no matter where you go in life there will be outcast from kindergarten classrooms ( the kid who sits in the back of class and eats glue for example ) to the high school ( the black kid who is preppy and is considered not black because of his style of clothing and the music that he/she listens to. ) even at work there are outcast, there is no breaking this mold. in my eyes everyone is an outcast it may not sound like a good thing but you are!! I'm an outcast because i may not be who you want me to. but that's fine by me. no one is the same and that's why in my eyes outcast fit perfectly fine in our society.

Is an "outcast" an "outsider"? Can someone be an "outsider" and the opposite, an "insider," in the same day? Can that person be an "outsider" and "insider" at the same moment?

You mention that there are lots of types of outcasts. Can you find one image that represents THE OUTCAST?
