Gilbert's Argument Essay: Fitting In

Improved Essays
“We have begun to live in a reality where comparison and competition won't make us succeed”- anonymous. Society has two ways the “right” way, which is fitting in and by fitting in it means being like everyone else or the “wrong” way being an individual but being looked at different. Is it a good idea to alter yourself to fit in? No. Changing yourself is leaving your principles just to fit into a group of people that you will probably not see in the next five years. I disagree with changing yourself to fit in because we are all individuals and have the right of freedom and expression.
Individualism the habit or principle of being independent and self-reliant. Tom Leopard tattooed his whole body with leopard spots and by doing that, he separated

Everybody is someone different, if we try to become like others imagine the chaos will occur. We can't let conformity be the way we live our lives. We need to be able to express how we feel because expression lets us show who we are.
However, people will say otherwise, that conformity is a way that they can fit in. People change by their new environment and society. Although that may be true that sometimes you need to change when something new comes around. Changing is materialistic things not your personality and that's what most people do. They change themselves mentally and physically because that’s what’s expected of you. Although it doesn't matter what people expect from you it's what you expect from yourself. I don't think people know the real you when you change yourself mentally.
Society will judge us on anything we do, so why not express who we are? Society cannot be the place where we hide away from what makes us unique. We are all strong, however the people who are willing to pass the line and continue are brave. “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment” - Ralph Waldo

    One point in Malcolm Gladwell’s book that stood out to me was when he talked about the artist in Paris in 1860 and how they didn’t conform, which I think you shouldn’t. He quoted historian Sue Roe when she wrote, “works were expected to be microscopically accurate, properly ‘finished’ and formally framed, with proper perspective and all the familiar artistic conventions (pg. 66),” but the artists he wrote about didn’t follow those rules. His book is about underdogs but, when he wrote about the artists and how they were painting different than what was liked back then, I thought it was more about how the underdogs of the time didn’t conform to society. He wrote, “the Impressionists had an entirely different idea about what constituted art.…

    the mindset of wanting to fit in but simultaneously stand out leads to everyone being similar. But as Emerson stated in his work “Self-Reliance”, “we but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of the divine idea which each of us represents” (369). Showing how people being afraid to completely express themselves manifest the movement of fitting in. Another example from Thoreau of modern day Americans losing opportunities because they want to fit in is, “... that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life in which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours” (Walden 385). He’s depicting the idea that if everyone lives the life they imaged, rather than one to be accepted, success is a…

    Individuality is the quality of a particular person that distinguishes them from others. Often times in the world, we are forced to give up our individuality and conform with others. In Logan Fey’s article, The Sociology of Leopard Man, he claims that to be a human is to be an individual human, with individual tastes, talents, morals, etc. I agree with Fey, that being human is to be an individual, but some of our traits have been influenced by other people, or sometimes we are forced to give up our individuality for certain things, but we all must find our own way of living as ourselves content in society. Being an individual human means that one develops their own personality, attributes, tastes, goals, talents, and morals.…

    Some might say though, that people can (and do) change themselves in many different ways. Let’s use a very simple example of a man named Jim who likes to chew gum. He likes to chew gum at school, but as we all know when you pull out a pack of gum at school, all hell breaks loose. Jim really doesn’t want to share, but he was raised to not be greedy with his things and wants to conform to social expectations. He found a solution to this by only purchasing spicy cinnamon gum, which everyone (including himself) dislikes.…

    In society there are various ranks of people whom devote and dedicate their lives into being exactly how others within the society picture the elite upper class. One will change his or her looks, viewpoints, and/or social class in order to fit in the ranking of being accepted. The urge to feel accepted is overcoming the society as a whole. This social issue is found in various ages and nationalities; no one person can be set aside from never having the want or feeling of wanting to be accepted. Ultimately, one just wants to fit in.…

    Conformity is an issue many teens face today. It takes over the average teenager's mind, so they choose to conform to the popular trends and fashion; therefore, they lose sight of what should mean the most, being themselves. How can we be our self without being called weird, stupid, freak and etc. When it comes to the topic of conformity most of us will readily agree that we want to be different instead of being who isn’t you. Many of us would give up our uniqueness, extraordinary distinctiveness, just to fit in a group.…

    Society pushes us to be “normal”, and if we don’t fit the norm, we are ridiculed. We as a culture are pushed in a certain direction and forced to try and fit certain molds and we can be changed and can change ourselves to fit into society. A good example of being pushed to fit a mold is the military. Gwynne Dyer talks about the military creating a group identity in her article “Anybody’s Son Will…

    This is true, but if you blend in with the society you are basically hiding who you actually are. Non-conformity is an important factor to be an individual. In the article, “The Sociology of Leopard Man,” by Logan Feys he shows that a non-conformity is a good factor in life by stating that “Leopard Man, owing to the fact that is tattooed from head to toe with leopard spots” (Leopard Man 1). This quote tells us that he basically is being himself by tattooing his whole body. This also shows us that he is trying to be an unique individual.…

    I believe that you should always try and be yourself no matter what anyone says or even cost you your life. Laying down your life for being yourself or something you believe in is the noblest thing that someone can do. Being yourself and not letting others restrick you for who you are is the best thing someone can do for themself. I believe Kurt Vonnegut short story “Harrison Bergeron” shares some of the values I have on being true to yourself even if the world is against you or are restricting you from being you. “ Harrison placed his big hands on the girl’s tiny waist, letting her sense the weightlessness that would soon be hers.…

    Individualism is what many consider the backbone of American culture or American dream. I find that is actually the reason for our slow fall and demise.

Individualism is summed up in a couple different ways, all focusing around self.…

    Being myself is effortless over attempting to mimic others’ behaviors. When I am true to myself, I am not required to stress so much about anyone contradicting or having negative opinions to say when I do not choose the same decisions as them. The pressure to look like everyone around and conform to society decreases as I learn my own self worth. Showing my own character by doing what I trust is correct, dressing the way I am comfortable in and by not letting people's opinion influence my decisions , has permitted me to grow as a person. For example, I participate in activities that I enjoy and take classes that I find accommodating, to allow myself to stay true to myself.…
