Birds of a plume flock together. This arguing has come upward to score the biggest weakness of the mentality of students inwards college life (maybe elsewhere also, but I'm also immature to comment on that) - the necessitate to 'fit in'. Peer pressure level dictates the necessity to conform to the environment, to relate amongst the colleagues, to produce equally they do, to comprehend collectivism too surrender individuality. We are taught, or made to accept, to house the quondam over the latter, for the greater good. But what is the greater good? To swim amongst the current? To rising too autumn together? Because 'united nosotros stand'? No, nobody thinks of the final inquiry when they 'go amongst the flow'; they produce it because it is easier than to stand upward alone.
I own got been through this inwards my college, for iii years now. Being the somebody who strives to last unique, to stand upward apart from the crowd, I own got faced the worst of 'groupism'. Fortunately, it has only made my resolve stronger; it has made me desire to non give in, fifty-fifty more. When you lot await closely at these people, who shape a matrimony for niggling issues similar insubordination through majority bunk too non-submission of assignments, you lot run into helplessness too fear. They experience similar they are subject on the residuum too this feeling accrues into their actual symbiotic human relationship amongst each other. 'I won't if you lot won't' becomes their agency of life. Such people volition ever succumb to the easier way, which nearly ever is non the right path. Only easy.
I don't advocate rebellion for the sake of it. Rebel against injustice, suppression of ideals too forces that drag you lot away from righteousness. It is okay to back upward them 1 time inwards a while, non for your convenience, but for fun. But exit the grouping equally shortly equally it becomes their habit, too for reasons you lot don’t approve of. It is real slow to larn a purpose of their endeavors, tempting also. And conk ahead, produce it if that is your priority. But if you lot are the sort of somebody who values individuality, don't larn weak 1 time you lot offset expressing your indignation at the collective thinking. Once you lot select the arduous path, don't divert.
Here's a simplistic but beautiful slice on collective thinking ('The Fountainhead', Ayn Rand)-
"...the remove heed is an attribute of the individual. There is no such matter equally a collective brain, equally a collective thought. An understanding reached past times a grouping of men is only a compromise or an average drawn upon many private thoughts. It is a secondary consequence. The principal deed - the procedure of argue - must last performed past times each human being alone. We tin dissever a repast amid many men. We cannot digest it inwards a collective stomach."
Some people recognize, too venerate, people who swim against the current; those who don't, shape a flock. Isn’t it ironic that people who 1 time felt obliged to last themselves are straight off trying too hence difficult to last nobody inwards the crowd?
