Conformity And Individuality In Fahrenheit 451

Only if someone is not distracted, because it involves a conscious effort to change these thoughts. Gilbert’s theory argues often people do not get to situational attributions if they are not able to cognitively because of distractions or they do not have the information to infer a situation affected the behavior. However, many people, as Wallace states, may not get to this step in the model because they simply do not care to see outside themselves at that moment. It can be extremely difficult for people to see past their own situation in the first place, especially in irritating situations like heavy traffic or a busy grocery store. It’s much harder to realize that there are external circumstances in everyone’s lives, especially when they are not seen

People, especially in Maycomb County, avoid identifying themselves in the other person. However, they are willing to take part in a bigger group in order to not identify themselves within the other person not as an individual, but as a group. Every single person is able to make “moral choices.” Lastly, I conclude by saying that by choosing what seems to be the right choice, might be harder for the ones who lack empathy, but as Baron-Cohen says, “the choice still

Nobody is the same, and nobody is perfect. Under those circumstances, people are

This means that they can’t find quality information in their society and be able to read it and understand it. Sometimes there might be an occasion where they can find quality information, but they can’t understand it and it is either one or the other. This is explained by Faber and it is one of the most important because they can find quality information, but is supported by the way that they use it is really what matters, and if they can’t perform it the right way then what is the point of having that information in your hands. I feel this happen in our society but we just don’t notice it.

Individuality allows every person to be themselves and be different from each other. However, In Ayn Rand’s novella Anthem, Rand describes a society where the people were not allowed to openly be themselves, or else they would be punished for being different. The main character, Equality, notices he is different slowly throughout the novella, but kept continuing to be like everyone else for awhile. These rules exist in this society to strip human individuality in order to achieve total equality.

He was going to get the people who were not completely defeated by the rules. He wanted to show them the words “I” and “ego”. This was the biggest transgression you could commit, although he didn't care. Equality came to the realization that this society that they had been living in didn't benefit the people. He knew that they never really were equal despite all the rules.

Montag and Clarisse shows how both developed a change over time and began to act different than what people “normally” act.

It is simply the nature of our existence. So why should we waste our time forcing our ideals and morals onto others? Everyone is entitled to living how they want to, and yet people try to show everyone that their ideas are superior. For an existentialist, it is not only a foolish choice to create an opening for conflict, but also a complete waste of what little time we have. Mary Shelley’s

There are many positive reasons to embrace traditions and there is a need to introduce and enforce rules for social conformity to ensure that society can function without undue chaos. However, taken to their extremes, blind acceptance of traditions and strict social conformity can lead to the persecution and destruction of fellow human beings. In part, strict allegiance to traditions and requiring social compliance in conforming to one type of thinking can result in a “cult-like” mentality. This mentality continues if there is no opportunity to allow for creative and independent thinking. The end result is a narrow-minded perspective that can hold down others who express other opinions or live in an opposing manner.

Going through life having a group of people or an idea of something that makes you feel apart of society is imperative. Treading through your eternity feeling alienated and lonely may cause deep distress and depression but by having a guild of people or a concept of something that make you feel conform can change a person’s view on life. In the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury the theme of conformity is very well developed through many instances. With the book being based about the believers and the non believers, these two groups don’t mix well but do share the same idea of conformity within their internal guilds. To showcase these groups main beliefs Bradbury uses symbols to not only pageant their ideas but to also give insight into the

Humanity prejudges others for many various reasons whether it is based on race, gender, culture, sexuality, etc. We sometimes forejudge others without even knowing it just because we grew up thinking that its’ “okay” or “normal”. It’s not okay but society has that impact on us all and we feel as though we can do it without facing consequences. Based on what I’ve read in "C.P. Ellis" by Studs Terkel and "Veiled Intentions" by Maysan Haydar, both authors believe that prejudice is something a person is taught, but they both experienced prejudice differently;

It is important for a person to know his or her identity because if they don’t, then they might forget who they really are. If you change your identity everyone might think of you in a bad way. You should not change your beliefs to be like someone else because that is not what you truly believe in. You always have to be yourself and stand out and be a leader. April did not know who she really was and Hercules did not know if he was a god or who is real parents were.

It is important for someone to know their true identity because if that person does not know they could be doing something different what their friends or family would have expected and wanted them to do. A person that does not know their true identity could be doing something outside of their religion or beliefs that their family had. If someone does not know their identity then that means that they are more than likely trying to be in different groups and trying to fit in. A very important thing to remember is to be yourself. That is not very easy whenever you do not even know who you are.

Stop the Bullying People is not always willing to stand up for what they believe is right. One of the reasons why people is not willing to stand up is because they fear getting involved in legal problems. Others do not want to lose time discussing over this situations. Many of them do not know that there are consequences for what they chose to ignore. What I think about this is different.

People are not commonly resorting to this option because of the morals that are disregarded, the negative message that is projected, and because they know how precious life is. As a result, people are hesitant to use this. It is important to remember that no matter how bad an individual is struggling, life is always worth
