Conformity.
An ubiquitous concept regardless of society or customs.
Also the spark of MANY conflicts.
Conformity is utter weirdness, in my opinion.
I mean, a lot of people want to go along with the crowd, to "fit in", so they change themselves. But, especially in American society, this can be taken to extremes as impresionable teenagers starve themselves and spend lots of money trying to be just like the models who are on TV and other media(who are full of crap, in my opinion). Beauty and fashion, two things that kinda want to make me puke, are hurting a lot of people. Conformity is everywhere, even if it's conforming to non-conformity.
Non conformists are kind of hypocritical. I mean, they say they are non-conformists but they conform exactly to what the other non-conformists are doing. I think this is because they want to be different, special, but they don't want to feel alone. So there's a bunch of non-conformists conforming in non-conformity.
And now you will be subjected to my view of the matter.
Me, think i'm more of a non-conformist, because I don't really care about what's popular, I'm not swept up in the race for the latest thing. I don't really change things about my life too often. I'm okay shopping at K-mart or not having the latest music or whatever. Some unpopular things are freakin AWESOME, people just don't think how I do. I don't do things JUST because they're mainstream, I don't want an iPhone because I have a perfectly good phone and I don't need a stylish wardrobe (did I really just say that? HAHA) because then I'd have to care if I got the clothes dirty. Practicality , but I also realize that some things are mainstream for a REASON, like a really good CD or a really comfortable sweatshirt. But, mainly, my tastes are not those of the mainstream.
