What Good Is There to Conformity

What Good Is There to Conformity

Ria Brumbaugh

I am a college freshman at RVCC and am majoring in Early Childhood Education as I strive to become a Preschool teacher or something else in that field. Though my grades in my previous schooling don’t show it, I truly enjoying reading and writing. Along with connecting outside media such as tv shows and movies to scholarly texts and I have done with this paper. Being able to connect casual enjoyments to academics to a similar theme is something I am still working on but love to do.

That conforming to what the majority believes can be a dangerous thing for yourself. With The Hunger Games trilogy being a good portrayal of just the dangers that can occur from the mob mentality conformity holds. As the trilogy greatly points out the dangers of continuing this form of thinking, the tensions that arise between conformists and nonconformists, and the social punishment that follows nonconformity, that better aids in the reasoning to why the people acted the way they did in Emily Dickinson’s poems, “Much Madness is divinest sense” and “I’m Nobody! Who are you?”
