America has had a tumultuous existence, replete with war, progress, and ideologies. The most formidable of these is individualism, or the shift of society’s focus from the group to the individual and a growing emphasis on their personal needs and desires. Despite wide criticism, it has become the societal norm, spanning all generations, genders, races, and walks of life.

For an utopian society to exist, there needs to be a merging of conformity and individualism in the society. Pure individualism or pure conformity in a society leads to a lopsided and corrupted society; they need to exist in synchrony. In Merry Mount, the people follow an ideology of complete freedom of thought and of individualism. The Puritan’s society shows what happens when everyone conforms and no one expresses their individual beliefs. When the ideologies of conformity and individualism merge it combines into a greater society as a whole, better than either of the individual half’s.

George Orwell wrote 1984 to show the destruction a totalitarian government can have on one’s individualism, as shown by Winston’s experiences in the book. By creating such a story, Orwell alludes to several totalitarian governments in reality, such as the Khmer Rouge, Viet Cong, and most infamously, the Nazi Party. These regimes, including the Party in 1984, all strip away one’s individualism by means of torture, poor conditions, or violence.

Finally, To fit in or to Be yourself or…? well that 's a personal question who will you be; will you go along with conformity like Ms.Mcgregor believes we should because it runs society smoother.

Or… will you find the healthy middle like a young author that wrote “Conformity vs. Individuality: A healthy middle” says “delicate balance between complete individuality and complete uniformity” she is trying to say that there is balance between individuality and conformity.

The main goal in life to be a successful human being, one who can be a true individual and create a person that could never be replicated. The goal of totalitarianism is to create a single person out of millions of people. To achieve this, brainwashing is a main component to force the citizens to follow the leader. As Winston was forced into believing 2+2=5, many people around the world are forced into believing that their leader is the supreme. Orwell wrote 1984 to act as a vehicle of warning to “help people resist totalitarianism…”(Reilly 123). By showing how Winston transformed from a man who vehemently protested the Party into a man who was not strong enough to resist the powerful forces of dictatorship, Orwell was able to illustrate

They both are similar because Rilke and Bellah argue that a person can “ lose oneself” in sharing their life completely with one another. It safe to say that they suggest that individuals get so caught up in the aspect of love and sharing their lives that they neglect to keep some part of themselves. So in the event of a failing relationship the individual will have some parts of themselves intact because if they didn 't it would be a more tragic outcome. It sort of like yin and yang principle, together they work perfectly but apart it’s catastrophe. They cannot work alone as well as they were together, when yin is without yang the world will succumb to chaos. This is why Rilke and Bellah deems the importance of individuality in relationships

Schooling and education are vital tools in one’s life. American Education reached its zenith in the 1950s, topping the world’s educational rankings with many Asian countries. Strangely, during the next decades, American education declined drastically. Many speculate that the decline is a result from the contradicting ideas implemented in schools: conformity and individualism.

Human beings were created to be social and interact with other human beings and humans cannot function without interactions with a society. The Catholic church does not favor persons over society or society over persons, but they must both mutually exist.
