The status quo is a barrier, like a giant boulder on a hill that, although slowly changes over time (slowly gets pushed up the hill) muffles the voices and ideas of those who want that change now. The person on the upside of the boulder/status quo represents the "norm" of societies current views. While the person on the low side of the boulder is fighting to push the status quo while society or the man on higher ground, is holding them back because they currently have the upper hand.
