Conformity

What would your philosopher think of the idea of conformity, as seen in books like Anthem and Fahrenheit 451?

Conformity is the behavior that is socially accepted. In Anthem, conformity took place during the use of numbers as names. In Fahrenheit in 451, conformity took place during the burning of books, since they were forbidden.

Thinking about this question, I believe that I would be for conformity because it is just human nature. People now, and even in the past, want to “fit in with the crowd” and they accept different events so then they are not the odd one out. Conformity is seen every single day, even if you do not notice it. It is in what we see as acceptable in school or work. It is how we think people should treat one another. Conformity is just the way humans are. Read my book Human Nature today!
