Lord Of The Flies And Being A Social Conformist

Decent Essays
Most people find it easier to rely on others and to be a social conformist rather than being a social non-conformist. Being a social conformist is easier because you do not have to explain why you want to be different or why you refuse to give in to peer pressure. People tend to find it easier to deal with peer pressure if they follow the crowd. When undergoing peer pressure, a lot of the time it is easier to do what others do instead of having to explain yourself. In Lord of the Flies, at first everyone followed Ralph because he was the one who blew the conch and no one seemed to care about Jack’s opinion, so Jack ended following Ralph as well. Then later, the littluns and the other boys turned against ralph and followed Jack instead, because

    The similarities between the novel Lord of the Flies by William Goldfield, and “Asch’s Conformity Study” show that when put under pressure, people often forget their morals and manners toward other humans just to be like, or fit in with, the majority or dominant group. Throughout the novel it has been proven time and time again that all the boys had a tendency to follow the person they felt they would survive longer with. This is really evident when Ralph and Jack get into the argument over what was more important, getting off the island they are trapped on, or hunting. Even though it was clear the boys should have focused on getting off the island, the majority followed Jack, because he let the younger kids have fun and would not keep on them…

Jack, however, did not feel like that was enough.…

    In Lord of the Flies, the children turn from clean cut and young proper men into savage, remorseless, immoral boys. Shockingly, they begin to threaten and kill towards the end of the novel. This is blamed on the state of nurture, which is based on situational, influential, and environmental factors. Effectively, they lost all levels of obedience and appropriation that they once took part of before they arrive on the island and became both vulnerable and pressured by their peers. There is a time in people’s lives where they are going to becomes vulnerable to their surroundings.…

    Do you, as an individual, conform to society or do you like to show people that you are different than most others? Out of the seven billion people who live in this world, most would say they conform to society, which is very natural. Humans are social beings and conforming to society is one way that we show each other that we are like them. Sometimes we feel obligated to conform by the people we respect, look up to, or people who are in higher positions than us. In the article, “The Sociology of Leopard Man”, Logan Feyes states that, “conformity can be seen as the world’s most common but dangerous psychological disorder.”…

    Society trusts those that conform, and distrusts those that that don’t. By conforming to society's expectation, you gain trust from the society. A disadvantage to conforming to society is when you join the group, you’re technically no longer your own individual. George S. Patton once said, “If everyone is thinking alike, then sobody isn’t thinking.” It’s like you’re a sheep, and when you conform to society's beliefs, you join the rest of the herd.…

    One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest revolves around the theme of individual freedom versus social conformity. Ken Kesey uses symbolism and motifs to represent this issue; the Combine symbolizes a society that aims to produce obedient servants and sends those who don’t easily fit into society to be “fixed” at the hospital.

McMurphy serves as the anti-hero who struggles with serving both his self-interest and helping the other patients. McMurphy initially appears as a hero to the other patients.…

    Normal is a complicated word despite literally meaning ordinary and regular. Within a social perspective, normal is always changing and being redefined. However, as the definition evolves, there will be individuals who do not fit within the designated parameters, also known as the nonconformists. This struggle, between those who want to fit in and have a society filled with people just like them versus those who just want to be themselves, is at the center of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey. By portraying the perspective of the patients on the ward and highlighting the brutality against men who are supposedly insane, but really are just uniquely human, Kesey accentuates the dangers within the doctrine of conformity-…

    Over the years scholars have misinterpreted the belief of Social Darwinism as a dramatic social change in history but Social Darwinism is more then that. We can take a look in why society today and how history has been in the past by understanding the concept of “survival of the fittest”. We have to understand the connection that is being made with racism and imperialism to better understand the concept of social darwinism. This connection is brought up with the belief that a certain group may be stronger than the other or that they're just simply better than anyone. Here is where the roots of social darwinism crept from.…

    Conformed To Murder It 's the year 1951, Solomon Asch and his students begin their social psychology experiments that today would be considered the basis of social psychology. Subjects of his experiments demonstrated proof that their thoughts and opinions on a particular topic or question could be heavily influenced and altered by the peer pressure of a majority group. Questions would be asked to a group of 7-8 college aged students to study their answers, the catch was that these questions would be almost impossible to get wrong, especially for college students, but a control group of all but one of these students (the subject) would purposely get their answer wrong in an attempt to influence the subject’s answer. The results were shocking,…
