MODERN versus CONVENTIONAL

I will try to be as objective as i can be, as i will not take any side, although i know exactly where I stand. 

Modern is defined as present and recent time, whereas conventional is defined as ordinary, conforming to accepted standards.

What are accepted standards? who made the standards? people?society? if so, i think there are too many standards around this world, coz different society means different standards. People who live in Asia definitely have different standards with those in Europe or United States. And another question arises, who taught you those standards? your family, your friends, your neighborhood? and then if you live in modern society, people will judge you as 'old-fashioned, not cool, stereotyped, tralatitious, etc, etc..' and in the contrary people will mention you as 'too free, or too brave, mannerless, forgetting the tradition n even troubled behaviour'.

Which one sounds better in your ears anyway? or should you even bother what they will judge you?

Maybe, you should care more about which way of life suits you better? and make you feel the most comfortable 

example: guys wear earrings, modern maybe think that as artistic, cool, gay whereas conventional would think that as inappropriate and even disgust them.

try this.. go home late, around 1 o'clock a.m..see what happens, what others think, does it tend to be good or bad? i'm kinda do this survey, please tell me the answers. Thank you in advance. Gracias :)
