    Critical thinking requires independent reasoning based on reasoning standards, rather than conformity. Being divergent means not conforming to expectations but still being responsible. The film Divergent and hip-hop culture can help people become divergent. In Divergent, the main character Tris is divergent and does not conform to any of her society's factions, putting her life in danger. Hip-hop originated in the Bronx in the 1970s and helps spread non-conforming ideas through music. Being divergent and thinking differently is important for problem-solving in the 21st century.

    Let’s Take a Look


    Watch the film “Divergent” or try to recall its plot.

    DIVERGENT PLOT
    To save the future of the dystopian Chicago, young adults were divided into five factions: Abnegation the selfless,
    Dauntless the brave, Erudite the intelligent, Candor the honest, and Amity the peaceful. One young lady named Tris
    Prior was different, a Divergent, who would not go along with any faction. If the government found out, her life
    would be in danger. Going through her tough and rigorous training, she told everything about her to Four, her
    trainer.

    Soon, a plot to overthrow the government was carried on, killing hundreds of people. Tris and Four must
    stop it. Becoming Divergent, they are to save the humanity.

    What is Hip-Hop?
    Hip-hop is a form of popular music that is comprised mainly of four elements: emceeing,deejaying, graffiti,
    and breakdancing. As hip-hop evolves into big business, new elements are constantly being added to the culture.
    Today, hip-hop is also a cultural lifestyle that impacts fashion trends, lingo, trends, and attitudes.

    Rap vs. Hip-Hop


    Rap is a form of music that originated from hip-hop culture. Hip-hop is a lifestyle with its own lingo, dress code, etc.
    In the words of KRS-One, “Hip-hop is something you live, rap is something you do”.

    Hip-Hop started in the Bronx


    A product of cross cultural integration, rap is deeply rooted within ancient African culture and oral tradition.
    Hip-hop is believed to have originated in the Bronx by a Jamaican DJ named Kool Herc. Herc’s style of deejaying
    involved reciting rhymes over instrumentals. At house parties in 1973, Herc would rap with the microphone, using a
    myriad of in-house references. Duplicates of Herc’s house parties soon drifted through Brooklyn, Manhattan. Herc
    and other block party DJs helped spread the message of hip-hop around town and spawned tons of followers.
