Isolation Detention

A type of school detention that is much worse than regular detention. I have gotten this before, so let me explain what it's like. This only exists in certain schools btw.

Isolation Detention is basically like being locked in a small room with nothing but a chair or desk. The walls are completely white, but the floor would usually be tiled or carpet. You'd basically be locked in there until the principal says you can leave. It's dead silent, and you only hear the school board talking outside (depends on where the room is located) and yourself breathing. The room feels like solitary confinement, and the only way you could get this punishment is committing theft on school property or something similar.
I got isolation detention for stealing 3 computers and a girl's phone. You don't want to end up like me.

Opiniotive Isolation

(uh-pin-yuh-tiv; eye-so-lait-shun)
(n.)
1. When a person has an opinion that is different than/opposes the popular opinion, but everyone except that person follows the popular opinion, creating an isolation of that person in the opinion's subject matter because there is barely anyone else that follows/ agrees with the person's opinion or a similar opinion.

Ex: "Paper Mario Sticker Star and Color Splash are better than Super Paper Mario and TTYD (The Thousand Year old Door)."
I feel opiniotive isolation because I think water tastes better evaporated.

Politically Isolated

Alienated from the current political atmosphere or from one's previous political affiliations, and struggling to identify with any political party or ideology. Another word for "politically homeless" that does not appropriate a word corresponding to a marginalized group of people. Not to be confused with centrism.
I used to support the Republican Party but after Trump, I became politically isolated.

Consumer Self-Isolation

To get consumers to go buy things,

via the media,
corporations make individuals feel

so superior to most people

they feel disgusted of others

and stop interacting with them.
The glorification of movie stars, and the innate—it seems—cognitive bias that makes everyone think they're better than almost everyone else, help induce "consumer self-isolation".
