Free-write on “Group Think” and “Group Minds”

There come many benefits when you are the benefits of follow the opinions and social "norms" of a majority group, for example you get to experience the feeling of being accepted. Being part of the majority seems like it the only way one can feel accepted. There are negative out comes and positive outcomes from following the majority, when you follow the majority I personally feel like you aren’t being true to yourself. People don’t like being the outcast/outsider and they want to be liked and not against everyone because they are scared of what others will think of them because they aren’t part of the norm. I feel like if you follow the majority then there is so many people being part of the norm that it’s hard to even get heard being part of the norm and since there might not be that much people not being part of it then it will help you be heard by others. Not being part of the norm will make you many enemies because people don’t like it when you go against their views. Being the outside can make you very disliked but if you are against the norm that gives you the attention to get others to hear what you believe. Being part of a large norm will eventually lead to not being noticed by others because you are just like everyone else. If you don’t want to be part of the norm then staying true to yourself will be the best decision you can make because like that you can be who you really are and don’t have to change yourself to try to be like everyone else.
