ESL Podcast 1191 – Living on the Fringes of Society 

Carla: Why do those teenagers have to dress like that? Don’t they want to fit in? 

Donald: Maybe they feel marginalized and they’re showing their feelings of alienation1 through their clothes. 

Carla: That’s just a bunch of psychobabble. Nobody is treating them like second-class citizens. They’re choosing to set themselves apart, to make themselves outcasts. 

Donald: Maybe they don’t feel they have the same access and privileges that other people do because of social class, religious beliefs, or other factors. 

Carla: Nobody is shunning2 them. They choose to live on the fringe of society. They need to stop making themselves conspicuous3 and integrate into society. 

Donald: What if they doubt they’d be accepted? 

Carla: That’s ridiculous. 

Donald: Would you want one of them as your neighbor? 

Carla: Well, I…well… 

Donald: I think I’ve proved my point. 

Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
