visual essay: conformity v.s. individuality

conformity
(wiki definition)
process by which an individual's attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors are influenced by other people.


the funny thing about conformity...
i would argue that conformity is all out of free will.
you get the chance to do something and be something different
and they become what others are...



people do have the chance to do something different... they do not have to follow the crowd but when it finally comes... people just choose to...

the way i see it people who do not follow the crowd are just alone.


individuality

maybe individuality is lonely...
sure i think individuality is a good thing but you got to got to admit it is lonely

being different and unique can also mean misunderstood

i do not think that conformity is a bad thing unless the person changes so much that they do not recognize themselves... its okay to find your group... a place where you belong.. but you shouldnt be there if it isnt you in the first place...
