The communal aura adulterates any provincial perception, which then creates a widely accepted ideal. Citizens of such society find refuge in conformity, and their ordeal of diversity is assuaged by homogeny. The presence of an analogous, perfunctory civilization obliterates any means of individualist thinking or doing—for the idea of individual intellect has become abominable and obscure. Although the perennial dogma of the disillusioned maverick is what can provide any facet of contrast between their ideas and the surrounding society’s moral values or assumptions.…
