Why Do We Need To Be Immitators And That Conformity Is Bad?

In my opinion this quote shows how the power isn't gained by one person and how the government needs to check with each other to make laws. *The quote shows how the Constitution guard against tyranny by checking and balancing each other's

Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy. Never underestimate that.”- Oliver Stone

I, personally, live my life by this quote, so the fact that it is a huge part in the Cottleston Pie Principle makes me agree with the principle more. As a human and a person with emotions and feelings, it is comforting to know that there is a place for everyone in this world and that there are people who practice and follow this belief everyday. The Cottleston Pie Principle also focuses on the importance that everyone should know their own limitations. In today’s world, there is a lot of competition due to the fact that people always think they can do what others can, even if they are not qualified to do it. The Cottleston Pie Principle heavily stresses that all people should know their limitations and those who know their limitations will be live a better life due to the fact that they know what to work on to become better. Too many people in society think they can do it all, which makes no one want to do better and doesn’t allow society to advance. Overall, I enjoyed learning about the Cottleston Pie Principle and now have a new way to look at life and a way I believe all should look at

So this quote is saying that we have conquered so much, but prejudice still lives amongst us and we have still not gotten rid of prejudice that lives inside us. Therefore I found this quote to be very significant because it

This quote, on its most basic level, is saying to just close your eyes. But when the reader is told to “Just close your eyes” we automatically think that we are hiding from our problems. Closing your eyes is symbolic for hiding away from problems. But problems and challenges are the key features of what shape and mould our identity. If we take away this feature of ourselves, we are affecting our identity is a way which we may not want to. The challenges we overcome shape our identity. And the challenges that we fail, also shape our identity. We cannot hide away from them.

“We as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves.” This quote is written by Barbara Jordan. This quote means we should judge people based on looks or their opinions of thing. We have to accept people no matter how different or alike are are.

That quote is stating that it’s not always right to follow the crowd but instead to follow your own footsteps.

Willa Cather's "Paul's Case," displays the conflict between conformity and individuality through the main character, Paul. On a number of occasions, Paul is forced to lie and steal to escape the conformists who wish to control him and stifle his unique imagination. However, his lying, stealing, and attempts to escape the conformists, only force Paul into isolation, depression, and feeling a sense of shame for his individuality. Throughout the story one might see Cather's constant contrast of individuality versus conformity, as well as Paul's lying and stealing. Cather seems to draw the conclusion that extreme individuals, much like Paul are simply misunderstood, and not offered the acceptance they desire

George Orwell’s political parable, 1984, portrays an oppressive and dictatorial government, which thereby presents to the reader a palpable sense of danger and malevolence born out of the creation of a counter utopic totalitarian regime. Orwell’s nihilistic creation of Oceania, presents a world wherein every aspect of private and public life is abhorrently regimented and regulated by the autocratic ‘Big Brother’. The whole population at large is forced to conform to the ideals and beliefs of the tyrannical ‘party’ as a means of not only survival but also a means of being able to live an unabated existence. The party opposes all forms of individuality and

This quote shows that people can be different then they can be, people can ultimately change for the worst.

Many individuals is faced with the decision of conforming or choosing personal desire, and it is not an easy decision. It is hard because being shunned by others for being different is not a good feeling. Choosing to conform over personal desire, often leads to loss. On the other hand, personal desire is what sets others apart and gives them joy. In the poem, “The Jackhammer Syndrome”, Al Purdy discusses the good and bad memories he has experienced. He goes through his memories of when he had fun and made mistakes, but he reflects on what he could have done better. The author of “The Jackhammer Syndrome informs against choosing the welcoming joy of conformity over the long-term gains of personal desire. Making the decision to pursue conformity over personal desire may seem easy at first, but if the choice is to conform, the joy it gives will not last. Making the decision to pursue conformity over personal desire Conformity may seem to give joy at first, but it does not last. When Al is playing pool with his brother, he wants to win badly, but losses. However when he did not care to win, Al wins! Conforming can lead to loss but personal desire has much to gain. If the choice is to conform, personal identity may be lost. In my life, I recognize several instances in which I found several similarities between Al and myself. I have made decisions that were not always good ones such as swimming across long distances with friends.

It says " The one who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. Those who walk alone are likely to find themselves in places no one has ever been before." It has been linked back to different people , the message is clear as day. It is a powerful quote that I think everyone should read and live by. It's basically saying if you do not follow your own path it may cost you. It may not be the path that was meant for you. If you take a leap of faith and use your own imagination you can go beyond your limits. The truth of it all is anyone can be different. Even identical twins are different in some way. You will noticed the different personalities immediately. The world need more strong, positive leaders . We were all put on this earth for a reason and we can all make a difference and be DIFFERENT.

“To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate.”

The statement “Conformity is a jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth,” was spoken by John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, in an attempt to boost American morale. The idea that is being conveyed is that conformity limits freedom, inspiration, and independence, which are the traits that brought the United States to where it is now. Conformity, defined as acting in order and in compliance with social behavior and law, is an extremely ambiguous term, but it means that creativity and originality can be lost due to the standards set by authoritative figures. Many works of literature share the common connection that runs through all of their collective plots and express the dangers of agreeing with society. In Arthur Miller’s drama The Crucible, the theocratic community of Salem is engulfed by hysteria over witchcraft and is reluctantly led to oppose the court’s defense of the truth. In the Scientific American article “Why Are We So Afraid of Creativity?” by Maria Konnikova, she concludes that people try not to get imaginative due to societal restrictions that clash with their ambitions, which results in people that are compelled to repress their creative urges under the greater authority, and to never be very productive, as society has its fears of the extent of creativity. The Apple Macintosh Commercial “1984” tries to sell Macintoshes by persuading that these products will stray from the drab and conventional style of the 1980s and bring

Now how this quote is still relevant to our society four decades after it was written. How, as the people of this world, can we call ourselves brave if we still have a fear of the unknown? How, as the people of this world, can we claim to be free is we are not equal? And how, as the people of this world, can we expect to put a ban on love? Or on who or how we love?
