The 35th U.S. President once said, “Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth”. John F. Kennedy led the country to believe in individuality and follow our paths outside of society. Conformity has been shown in many ways in history and most lead to substandard endings. When people do not follow society's wishes, diversity is defeated and they, themselves, become successful.

In today's day and age, it is so important for us to conform because we want to fit in so badly. Its very common for us to want to not stick out like a sore thumb.
