themes of conformity and individuality

Conformity refers to adjusting one's behavior or beliefs to fit in with a group or social norms, often to gain acceptance or avoid conflict. Individuality, on the other hand, emphasizes maintaining personal beliefs, choices, and uniqueness, even if it differs from the group. These themes explore the balance between fitting in and expressing personal identity, highlighting the compression between societal expectations and personal authenticity. While conformity can promote social harmony, too much can suppress uniqueness. Conversely, valuing individuality encourages diversity but may lead to social disconnect. Both themes reflect the ongoing challenge of balancing personal freedom with social belonging.
