Theres a great hoohaw these days about conformity which has became a dirty word Educationist and editors social workers and sob sisters warn us thai one of the great threats to freedom in the modem world is conformity These claim that were turning into a nation a world of confor mists They threaten that the golden age of the real individual the rebel the non conformist is n earing an end and that very soon we shall all be slaves eating what everybody else is eating wearing what everybody else is wearing doing what everybody else is doing and thinking what everybody else is thinking I find myself remarkably calm in face of these prophecies In fact I they are pure poppycock In the first place I see nothing wrong with conformity It merely means To thine own self be true compliance with established forma In short the individual accepts the responsi bilities and the restraints which society imposes on him The vast majority of people have always been conformists If you happened to be a cannibal and the piece de resistance was roasl missionary you sat down with the rest of the boys enjoyed the preacher You didnt say Gee dont know fellas Maybeweremakingamistake Maybe we boiled him No sir You con formed You along with the crowd If you happened to be a Roman legionary happily hacking up Gauls and ancient Britons you didnt stop in the middle of the orgy and ask yourself Is this the real me or am I just doing this because everybody else is If you did you were a dead non conformist Equally if you happen to be a modem man and your kids and wife are putting over the Jumps you conform You dont take a two by four and pound your kids into submission You threaten to cut off their allowance In the second place the deliberate or conscious con form is a simple pain in the arm He is the type who thinks he cant be a painter unless he has a beard who thinks he cant be a poet unless he needs a haircut badly Perhaps the greatest conformists in the world today are teenagers In their desperate attempt to avoid conformity they become the most rigid conformists tn our society They dress alike do their hair alike eat the same food listen to the same music All this in an effort to revolt against society to be conformists Not that there havent been great non conformists Beethoven Tolstoy Gauguin come to mind But they were great not because they were conformists but in spite of it They had talent Mac On the other hand Bach was a church organist music teacher and had children Shakespeare worked atrocious hours lived an exemplary life and never missed getting his hair cut regularly Does this mean eery conformist is a nut Not necessarily though probably tie is usuall an unhappy chap who for some deepburied reason must attract attention Trouble is the people who constantly warn us of the dangers of conformity have confused the conformist and the in- diwdual The former is to be pitied He is seeking firm ground in a quagmire The latter is to be envied He has found a prune himself in the porridge of society and he chews happily after Perhaps old Polonius put it best in Hamlet His son is going away to college The dad gives him a lot of advice about conforming Then in an unexpected and untypical flash ho adds This above all To thine own self be rue thou not then be false to any man GEORGETOWN 8775266 ACTON 8532010 You may now chargs your
