Individuality, By Logan Fey

Man’, Logan Feys states, “To be human is to be an individual human, with individual tastes, talents, values, and aspirations that are distinct from those of others. Living in society, we are under constant pressure to surrender our individuality to the will of the majority, the school, the workplace, the family, etc.” Everyone is their own unique person, with a different personality than the next, and at the end of the day it is your personal option to display or hide your own individuality when around

Man VS Society “Living in society, we are under constant pressure to surrender our individuality to the will of the majority, the school, the workplace, the family, etc.” (Feys, P.6). Logan Feys, the author of “The Sociology of Leopard Man”, states that society is persistently under pressure to change our individual likings, personality, change the way we look, etc. to feel accepted and approved by society. The desire to fit in and not be an outsider with social groups causes people to feel pressured

uniform? Logan Feys argues that people look alike due to pressures that society and other people place on them. Feys also argues that if they were all to truly be themselves, than every sole person will have a different way to express themselves. I agree that people are modified due to these pressures, but these pressures aren’t the only “pressures” that detain people. Furthermore, I concur with Feys on what he says defines a true person is their unique personality traits. I agree with Logan Feys when

concept of individuality is one that has been debated over the decades. Each person holds their own definition of this vague idea, but no one truly knows it at all. The theory of conformity versus nonconformity is based on how a person reacts to society. To be a nonconformist includes questioning society and going against the norm. Society as a whole is typically at odds with others who reject the standards. They are seen as weird or freaks and shamed for being themselves. Logan Feys “The Sociology

article, "The Sociology of Leopard Man", by Logan Feys uses Tom Leppard as an example of both a conformist and non-conformist person. Tom Leppard also known as Leopard Man, is tattooed from head to toe, but he does not live among society. Instead he lives in the scottish wilderness, in a small and isolated cabin, away from people. In this article, Feys argues that some people change their appearance because they want attention. In my opinion, I agree with Feys when he argues that certain individuals

Living in society, we are under constant pressure to surrender our individuality to the will of the majority, the school, the workplace, the family etc.” (paragraph 6). Logan Feys, the author of “The Sociology of Leopard Man”, from The Rebirth of Reason, stated that masses of individuals in society are continually expected to be similar to others or at least fit in, socially

“I think everybody’s weird. We should all celebrate our individuality and not be embarrassed or ashamed of it.” states Johnny Depp in one of his brilliant quotes. Individuality is “weird” to some people, but maybe it is because they are lost in the control of conformity. If we were all to just be ourselves and embraced or individuality then conformity wouldnt control us. In my own view of conformity and individuality as it relates to humanity, society, teenagers, and the world is do not let conformity

In the essay The Sociology Of Leopard Man, by Logan Feys explains how society affects the way people live their lives. I do agree with Feys opinion on how society affects people's individuality. I strongly agree with Feys because I have personally seen how society affects the way people live their lives. Fey’s says “Society looks down upon freakish and extraordinary individuals alike and views them with suspicion.” This quote basically describes how society is. This quote supports my opinion because

These ideas can have positive and negative effects on the people and world around us. We are unable to avoid conformity, but we can show our individuality. Norman Shpancer’s article states that all humans conform to ideas that might not necessarily cause problems, but there are instances where the choices they make cause immense harm to others around them. Logan Feys’ biography on Leopard Man claims that people who act out of the ordinary, or looked at as freaks by society, live a happier life than the

and the article “The Sociology of Leopard Man” by Logan Feys, both authors discuss their ideas on conformity. Both stories demonstrate social conformity, and the authors use the theme to help prevail it. In “The Leopard Man,” Feys’ explains conformity as “the world’s most prevalent and most pernicious psychological disorder. The consequences of it are no less than the suppression and destruction of one’s self” (1). The text evidence show Feys’ point of view on how conformity can be a good or bad
