Everyone else in the town thought it was a crime to defend African Americans, but Atticus did it anyways because he knew it was right. Atticus's sense of individualism is what led him to not listen to anyone else and just do what he knew was right.  ]]> 2018-10-29 18:32:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/298205280 mav23831 https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/298439926 2018-10-30 12:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/298439926 mav23831 https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/298440151 Huckleberry Finn, from Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, represents individualism because he acts independent and self reliant. He has completely removed himself from society and civilisation in order to be more individual.  ]]> 2018-10-30 12:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/298440151 cum06044 https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/299036744 The image (left) portrays individualism by showing how people should not try to blend in with the crowd and be them self like a match that doesn't burn out like the rest.]]> 2018-10-31 15:35:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/299036744 The Middle by Jimmy Eat World mav23831 https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/299079928 The Middle is a song that talks about many individualism ideals. It talks about being comfortable with your self and live your life the way you want to. It says not to worry about what other people think of you.   ]]> 2018-10-31 16:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/299079928 mav23831 https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/299082699 "You know they're all the same
You know you're doing better on your own so don't buy in
Live right now
Just be yourself

Kennedy cum06044 https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/299083764 Conformity forces you to not do what you want to do or be who you want to be because you are trying to be like the rest. This stops the ability to grow because if you are like the rest, then nothing will ever change. Kind of like a single cell organism asexually reproducing never adapting.]]> 2018-10-31 16:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/299083764 mav23831 https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/299085033 Individualism is bad for business - though absolutely necessary for freedom, progressive knowledge, and any possible interface with the transcendent.

Without people being themselves, new ideas will never be put forward and society wouldn't progress.  ]]> 2018-10-31 17:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/299086334 mav23831 https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/299093784 2018-10-31 17:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/299093784 mav23831 https://padlet.com/mav23831/Individuality/wish/299093995 This political cartoon shows Uncle Sam, representing America, "grinding" all the individual American people into basic boring people.
