  (2006.6) Do we tend to accept the opinions of others instead of developing our own independent ideas?

  It is rare to find an objective and independent viewpoint on style, literature, politics, or any other matter. Many people's opinions are formed through their associations with others. It is our nature to conform; conformity is a force that few can successfully resist. We give in to the human instinct to go along with the crowd and to have its approval.

  Truly, it is our nature to conform, and human’s long history has witnessed the prevalence of conformity among the general public. However, this does not indicate that we will give in to our nature all the time. In the modern age, with education available to most people and with competition heating up around the globe, people in mounting number are developing their own independent ideas instead of blindly conforming to others.

  In history, there are abundant examples revealing that most of the remarkable breakthroughs that humans have ever made are invariably attributable to a few individuals’ independent ideas instead of those of the majority. This indicates a significant fact about the majority of our ancestors, that is, a strong tendency to conform to conventional thoughts and wisdom with little independent questioning. For instance, one of the biggest revolution in the field of astronomy was sparked by an individual—Copernicus whose heliocentric model transformed people’s understanding of the universe. Before Copernicus’ novel idea was popularized, the public at the time tended to conform to the widely held views, believing that Earth was the center of the universe. Had it not been for Copernicus’ novel theory, the public would have been fooled for longer time.

  However, fortunately, this is no longer the case with modern people who have more and easier accesses to public education. Since modern education highly values critical thinking and independent thinking, people receiving this education are all encouraged and trained to do independent thinking. Hence, now it is not uncommon to see children challenging their parents’ excessive controlling at home, students questioning their teachers in class, and people protesting against unjust laws or policies in the street. These are all the manifestations of modern people’s independent thinking.

  Another factor contributing to the strong tendency to independent thinking is the rigorous global competition facing the present world. To succeed in this highly competitive world, one has to resort to innovation, which entails independent thinking. Hence, the ability to think independently has become a key element of one’s success. The unprecedented success of Apple Company is the best illustration of this. Thanks to its exceptional creativity, Apple not only defeats all his rivals but also brings us such amazing products as iPad and iPhone. In a word, the pressure of living in the world rife with competition is forcing people to nurture their independent thinking ability so that they can innovate and then succeed.

  In the past, humans were subject to conformity, but it is not the case now. The widespread public education and the competition around the world are shaping the strong tendency for people to think independently rather than just blindly following others’ steps.
