In his essay “The Individual and Society”, Indian thinker Jiddu Krishnamurti argues that the nature of society is such that individuality is restricted through the adherence to conformity. He suggests that, as individuals are conditioned to become conventionally good and efficient citizens, they concurrently develop the ruthless tendency to force those individuals who do not fit this norm to also conform to the ideals they themselves have been taught to respect. Similarly, Ken Kesey, author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, also believes that socialization and adherence to conventionality hinders the development of individuality. Nevertheless,…
Is it possible to go from someone who conforms, to becoming a full on individual? Is it safer for people to stick to their community’s ideas, beliefs and morals, or is it nice to have parts of them that make them stand out? In Fahrenheit 451, there are characters that stick to following the crowd, while Montag believes that having a little individuality can only benefit him. The author, Ray Bradbury reveals the theme that despite the fact that every character shows some form of conformity, Montag breaks out of the ordinary to become an individual.…
It is often said that people today try to fit in the crowd. Also known as conformists. Those people do not understand that there other people out there that want to be themselves also known as individualists. The general argument made by the author of the article, “Individuality and Social Conformity --- Thoreau’s View,” Henry David Thoreau believes that human beings should be self-reliant and live a simple life. Thoreau points out how men are losing their humanity. He states that they work at unfulfilling jobs just to get by day by day.…
Throughout the years society has changed us as people. It has drove people to do things that will be remembered in history. But we still pose the question, “How does society impact individuals?”. The most dominant ways are they social demands, the reluctance to change, and the courage to stand up for what one believes in.…
People believe if everybody was equal, the world would be a happier place. In reality that is far from true because it can create many problems that are not visible at first. It has been thought that if there was no rich or poor and everybody was the same, war would not exist and people would be better-off. There have also been many arguments as to why people need to be different and the need for social classes is essential. Conformity and individuality are very important in society. Aldous Huxley uses the lack of uniqueness, the dangers in group decisions, and the lack of innovative ideas to display how conformity is a major threat to society.…
Non-conformity also encourages a life of solitude and away from “the impending threat of human intimacy, of friendship, and all the messy emotional baggage that comes with it.” (McCandless 55) In other words, it is occasionally beneficial to have some time alone to deeply contemplate and develop individual insights of society and oneself. However, too much time alone and away from the crowd can cause a person to become unsocial and incapable of developing relationships with others. As a result, the importance of non-conformity parallels with the tenet of being independent and absent from the nonessential aspects of daily…
Compliance and conformity are two prominent aspects of the current education system that limit student’s ability to formulate opinions and delve deeply into subject matter. The study of science is constantly evolving and scientific exploration is a key factor in gaining a holistic understanding. An education beyond the accustomed realms would challenge me to learn through exploration, opposed to being taught in a traditional setting. My character can accurately be depicted with one word: perseverance. We as humans face challenges daily, and it is accepting the challenge that allows us to succeed. The drive I possess challenges me to look beyond the curriculum, and gain knowledge in aspects of the subject that are sheerly of interest, not solely…
Societal norms are strange things, created by everyone trying to fit in with everyone else; which can cause numerous problems. No one person can fight this, but a single person is always the start of a change in society. As we can see historically, currently, and written abundantly in literature, social norms are hurdles to be jumped over by a single man or woman trying to be themselves in an effort to make a change.…
We’ve all seen or heard people telling you how to look, feel, or act. People telling you to change,so you can fit in or look better. We all have been pressured to be something we’re not. Society thinks that conformity is huge part of life, that it keeps everything together. Conformity is important, but what’s more important is being unique, being yourself not someone you’re not. It is not good for individuals to change their feels, beliefs, looks, or actions to fit in with society because you’re basically changing your image to impress people.…
To be an individual is more beneficial than conforming to society. Followers allow people to control themselves, but an individual stands for what he believes in. A major difference between a follower and an individual is conformity. Someone who conforms to society follows a group of people and is influenced by everything that group of people does. An individual who doesn’t conform to society is self reliant and courageous.…
Society struggles most with the temptation that is conformity, “For nonconformity the world whips you with its displeasure” (Emerson, “Self Reliance” qtd. in Littell 366). It is easy to get lost in a world full of conformists, which is why staying true to your own self is important. Independent thinking is vital; however, not being able to hear others out leads to a closed minded individual. The whole idea is for people to be free in thought and actions, and to do what they want, and not what society beckons them to do, “imitation is suicide” (Emerson, “Self Reliance” qtd. in Littell 366). Human nature, though it is subjective, will always guide you in the right direction as long as you let it. It is a constant battle for man between being a nonconformist and a conformist because of the many temptations, such as the desire to “fit in.” It is a cruel world, and the only way to avoid society’s expectations is to learn to trust yourself and be comfortable in solitude. A profound idea of Emerson’s is to be sure of yourself, and that is how you will gain respect in a hopeless and dependent world. People tend to get lost on the way to the pursuit of the Utopia, and the result ends up creating a breed of identical individuals, “It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with the perfect sweetness the independence of solitude...” (Emerson, “Self Reliance” qtd. in Littell 365). You have…

The causes of conformity among individuals have long been debated and researched in recent decades. It is for this reason that conformity is an intriguing psychological concept. It causes sound-minded individuals to go against their best judgement, to engage in behaviour which they usually would not engage in, even accept and welcome an idea they internally disagree with, all in order to not be a deviant from the group. It is thus interesting to look at the factors which cause people to conform, to do what they see others doing, to rely on the judgements of the group, and to ignore their own senses and perceptions. It is the reasons for the individual's desire to conform that I will be discussing in this paper.…
