Do we tend to accept the opinions of others instead of developing our own independent ideas?
It is really depends on different situation, but mostly, people tend to accept the opinions of others instead of developing their own independent ideas. People who follow this silent rule in our society, called conformists. People who do not, called non-conformists. Even though every single person has their own individuality, people often keep their own thoughts or ideas in their minds to make their life easier. Most people chose to be conformists to get along in the world. In my opinion, people are taught to be conformists naturally. Since people are young, they go to school and learn how to associate in school. Furthermore, in communities, people learn as they live that following other people's opinion is better in not making mistakes, and also, in looking more naturally. But of course, we have non-conformists in the world. Obviously, they are opposite to conformists. They do not follow others' opinions or idea but their own. Those kind of people usually have more original ideas and unique personalities than conformists. However, all conformists and non-conformists create our society together; consequently, nothing can be defined as right or wrong unless it's unethical.
