Intro

A society is made up of individuals where each man is responsible for himself. In each of our own contemporary societies we individually discriminate our values, ideals and our identity. And while at first, society seems to appear to be a means of survival promising protection and support, it is individuality that leads rise to change and close examination reveals that there is no extent to when or why individuality should be compromised. Indeed, contemporary society is suffocating, the environment inescapable, media and culture spiritually killing. So, let chaos rise and a society break. Let people get scared and unsure. Why do we find such security in conforming to the crowd when society’s focus will remain on itself, never the individual? Moreover, when our environment (Buckley, college, 1813 London) calls for conformity to the consensus, it is a necessity to have individuals that can and will break free from their environment and set change. In short, individuality forms when those concerned see society less mindful of the needs of the individual. If the society wants to break down the individual to obedience and agreement then the society itself needs to be broken down. The needs of the many outweigh the few? But, what if it is those few that guarantee ideas, happiness and liberty.

  1. Sum: Never compromise for society. (I like the passion and the call to arms. Sentence level writing needs to be smoother, but this seems like it could make a nice essay. Introduce your best examples a little more in the intro, perhaps. ‘In short ‘is nice)
