Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth. by john f kennedy.
I think it is that if you want to belong you try to be like other people and you cant express yourself...im not sure what the other part means...
Answers:
Conformity means you go along with the group or norms already established. If we all did this thru time then there would be innovation, inventions, social change, social movements, or liberations. So, he is saying by conforming we limit freedom and conformity is opposed to growth because if nothing changes then nothing grows.
I think that everyone should express their views on anything. If we are bound to one rule we are not free and we can not grow.
Loosely translated, it means, "Pull your finger out!"
i feel if you try and conform to fit in you are not a leader but a follower and you hold youself back and are not happy.
for me ,i learn each year ,especially this schoolyear,it is better not to know for there are some things it is better for you not to know,i use to feel left out when my coworkers had and still do ,little hen sessions and not include me in the pecking order,but that shows i don't need to be in the hen club to fit in.
Conformity makes all to abide by a given set of rules. Every person must be this way or that and individualism is never allowed. Conformity also groups people like sheep where only a certain few are allowed the freedom to do as they wish when they wish. Conformity is nothing but tyrannizes because some dude in power says it has to be their way or else.
Non-conformity IS freedom...In this country we have the freedom to choose whether we want to go with the crowd or be an individual. Kennedy's view was that if one conforms, one no longer thinks for him or herself-you merely do what everybody else does. There's no personal growth because there's no "person"---just a robot.
you dont try to change anything you just go along with what someone tells you to do
What he means is that if everyone conforms, or obeys all the rules and just follows along with what is being done, then they are not free and will not explore outside of the box.
Everyone is just confined, or rather "conformed" into the same basic structured wall of the box.
It's kind of like saying "nothing ventured nothing gained," but because he's a politician he has to be all fancy about it and manipulate his words so people will agree with him. ;)
Was he talking about introducing the space program? Because that would make sense, I think.
