Individuality Vs Conformity

In today’s society, conformity seems inevitable, but to avoid it is to offer your best qualities to the world and put yourself in a position of success. Wayne Dyer argues “"When you're just like everybody else, you've nothing to offer other than your conformity". I strongly believe that to conform is to kill all creativity and individuality, it is to set any aspects of your life that makes you unique aside and ignore them. In addition, to follow the social norms stifles all innovation and cycles of improvement and change. When following the majority, you are accepting that the way they act is as good as it gets and that there is no need to alter or develop anything, when in reality that is never the case.

It is more important to live honestly and with integrity even if it creates a dispute because it is the only way to grow and develop as a human. It is so easy to succumb to the pressures of conformity and live comfortably without any fear of rejection. Without taking risks, one is incapable of finding out how much one is really able to accomplish. To conform is to accept defeat and unsuccess, but to explore and live life the way one wants is to discover and reveal ideas or concepts that had never before been known. To acknowledge the social norms and deliberately go against them is a way to not only put yourself in a position of success, but to put yourself in a position of happiness and that alone can impact society for the
