    There was more importance on social interaction then obviously.

    Today I can go days without seeing anyone (yet still be very productive, doing hw and studying on my laptop at home). Back then anything you did that was productive must have involved being in front of other people.

    George Whitehall, carpenter, handed himself into Newtown police after hacking to death his common-law wife, Ida Parker on Thursday afternoon 21 February 1922, at their home in Pleasant Avenue, Erskineville. This photo was apparently taken the following morning at Newtown Police Station.

    Conformity is a bigger part of being successful and happy in life than it is given credit for.

    Depends on the path in life you've chosen. In some paths it's almost a necessity, in others it's a total hinderance. In either one, at least knowing what you are expected to conform to is critical, and you'll need at least a little bit of the other side for that.

    Take a look at the way people here are posed compared to modern day mug shots. It's WAY closer to the way they'd actually look if you met them on the street.

    Why is that? It's because mug shots were originally made to provide a reference for how someone would look if you saw them on the street. But they're not anymore.

    There's still some show and dress-up like it's for a reference picture, with the height bars and everything, but that's not the real purpose of modern mugshots.

    The real purpose of modern mugshots is to make the person in them look like they're guilty. Think about that for a second.
