    The most popular age to do so are teenagers as one can depict. If all people conformed to one another, individuality would never be heard of. An opposite way to think of this is that without conformity, the common society would not be able to work together. People tend to believe this due to the fact that without agreement, there is chaos. No one would have courage to stand up for what they believe in, what they like, and most importantly, who they are. One will usually believe that after conforming to fit others for a while, one may begin to lose themselves. All in all, conforming may seem to be the only option to people in order not drag attention to themselves in certain situations.

  • Tupac Amaru II's Rebellion Analysis

    614 Words  | 2 Pages

    The case of Tupac Amaru II’s rebellion was the perfect example of race relations coming to a boil. Philip Ainsworth Means wrote a great piece on the rebellion, emphasizing this very topic of race relations, with his thesis being that when you have two unevenly powered races this type of rebellion will pretty much happen. Means began this article detailing the genealogy of Tupac Amaru II, being sure to point out issues that arise from the Spanish takeover, such as maintaining the established Inca family in power. The Inca was controlled by the Spanish and acted as puppet kings. Ending with the Inca power being taken away through the what seems to be an uncalled for execution of Tupac Amaru I. This then moves onto the culture and events which catalyzed this rebellion, such as Viceroy Toledo acting out, executing obscene

    Conformity also restricts the ideas of society to be heard, because everyone must follow the same ideology. One of the quotes from Beatty is “You must understand that our civilization is so vast that we can’t have our minorities upset and stirred”, implying that people are better off conforming to the culture so that unhappiness does not happen (Bradbury 56). In Fahrenheit 451 conformity is the motto of the culture, society is distracted with certain simple things like TV and racing cars. Clarisse explains to Montag “People don’t talk about anything. they all say the same thing and nobody says anything different from anyone else”, the culture of this society couldn’t question certain things and most of their conversations lead to the same basic ideas.

    Everybody wants to be accepted, yet society is not so forgiving. It bends you and changes you until you are like everyone else. Society depends on conformity and it forces it upon people. In Emerson's Self Reliance, he says "Society is a joint stock company, in which the members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater." People are willing to sacrifice their own hopes and freedoms just to get the bread to survive. Although the society that we are living in is different than the one the Emerson's essay, the idea of fitting in still exists today. Although society and our minds make us think a certain way, we should always trust our better judgment instead of just conforming to society.

  • Tupac: The Words of an Inspirational Lyricist

    1228 Words  | 3 Pages

    What defines someone as being inspirational to others, do they have to wear a suit and tie, have a Harvard degree, drive a fancy car and speak of nothing but glory? I beg to differ; it depends on the person of whom they are trying to inspire that is why I believe Tupac Shakur is an inspirational icon to underprivileged individuals. Tupac Shakur, through his music, poetry, and political views, inspires young disadvantaged people to recognize that there is life for them outside of the ghetto, poverty, drugs and other adversities. He speaks of poverty, teenage pregnancies, single parenting, self-esteem and an array of other problems that people living in the ghetto are faced with. Despite all of the negative associations with his name, Tupac has managed to capture the hearts, emotions and attention of many people because they relate to his life in some type of way. Someone listens to Shakur’s songs and hears their life story, while another may hear a situation that someone close to them is going though. Either way, his words appeal to people’s lives in a positive way. Sadly though, a lot of people cannot overcome all of the negativity to see the impact that he has upon society. Dyson states “Tupac's language was inflamed with love for the desperately poor. He was a ghetto Dickens who explained the plight of the downtrodden in rebellious rhyme” (15). His analysis of Shakur’s lyrics better supports and exemplifies the claim of Tupac being inspirational.

  • Conformity Of Social Media

    1203 Words  | 3 Pages

    But why do I conform despite knowing I don't want to? In today’s society conformity is necessary to basically not be antisocial. If you don’t conform, you’re seen as “that weird guy” or maybe the person who never leaves home. Conformity is a basic need to live in society today. Some people are good at balancing their own values and society’s values, and some people become engulfed in their own values and have no regard for society’s or vice versa. Where do I fall in that spectrum? I think I succumb to society’s values over my own, but just a little bit. This is a constant fight between me, myself, and I, but it is also a new societal norm that everyone surprisingly

    It is so hard to become a rapper. But it is harder to become a Great Rapper. I believe Tupac is a great rapper. Not only a great rapper, but the greatest rapper. Like Snoop Dogg had said, “Tupac was many different things at once. Hardheaded and intellectual, courageous and afraid, revolutionary and….oh yeah, don’t get it f***ed up, gangsta.” To be a great rapper, you must have impact, commercial success, be good at song writing, a lot of performances and live shows and lastly, hella good rapping. The first song I heard from tupac was “ambitions az a ridah and all eyes on me” and it was real original so I went and listened to ‘Brenda got a baby’ which made me think “dammmmm he good, he good as hell”

  • Tupac Positive Attitude

    278 Words  | 1 Pages

    Tupac once said "Having a positive attitude could get you somewhere in life". Well, I agree with him, if you want to accomplish something you have to think positive. Some other people don't agree with Tupac and i think they don't because the way they were raised, always seeing negative stuff and it translated into their life. For me, if you want to be successful not only in life but in other areas you have to think positive. Success and positive belong together, they are family. Why think about negative ways to be successful? you can't. Some other people may think having a positive attitude isn't they key to success. why? because you don't have to always think positive to succeed, nobody will always be positive and happy. Nobody's life is perfect,

    Hence, conformity is only acceptable when others are not hurt and their thoughts are their own. In The Giver, conformity cannot be tolerated, because innocent babies and seniors are being killed for the sake for their society. In “The Pedestrian”, conformity has gone wrong due to the fact “different” people, like Leonard Mead, are being punished for their uniqueness. Prisoners are currently conforming to an unacceptable degree in North Korea, believing their horrible dictators are gods, instead of the causes of their misery. This matters because as seen in the article “Life in a Labor Camp”, overboard conformity is currently harming others. Thus, humans must learn to stop conforming when conformity alters one’s thoughts and actions and/or harms them.
