Compliance seems to be the new silent killer. More and more people are choosing to conform rather than be themselves. Conformity is widespread across the world, and in our generation it is beginning to spread like wildfire through dead grass. In the article “The Sociology of Leopard Man” by Logan Fey, Logan argues that conformity is becoming one of the most dangerous psychological disorders in the world. I will share my position and provide my own experience in terms of how I classify non-conformists and conformists. In the article “The Sociology of Leopard Man,” Fey states that society views people who are different as monsters. Throughout the article, Fey supports her claims with an example, general assumptions, and her own opinion. The main reason why Fey decided to write this article is basically to convince the public to be more like the Leopard Man from time to time, in terms of living an independent, simple and happy life. Conformity is essentially a type of social influence that involves changing behavior and beliefs in order to fit into a certain group. In today's society, it is often extremely difficult to adapt to one type of lifestyle. The constant pressure of outside opinions influences our ability, as humans, to feel comfortable with a certain way of life. Our standards of living may consist of looking, thinking, and acting that are not consistent with what is accepted at any time. When this is the case, we sometimes feel pressured to change, so we are vulnerable to conformity. The two main theories of conformity are that people turn to the group because they don't know what to do, and that people accept the norm because they are afraid of being different... middle of paper . ....trendy clothes. Everyone who goes to church is primarily there for the same reason and how they look should not matter. My analysis confirmed that I am the only one who believes that I am not a conformist. In conclusion, the Leopard Man is just one example of how someone can live a simple and happy life. I believe that non-conformist individuals have deep inner strengths. Society puts a lot of pressure on everyone to act and live their lives in a certain way, considered the “norm”. If we look at history, the majority of inventors and famous people who left their mark on this earth were different (i.e. non-conformists). My outlook on life must be different, I may not go to extremes like the Leopard Man, however, I certainly intend to change the world in a positive way. I'm still figuring out how and when.
