When discussing conformity and if education should be used to facilitate both conformity and the pratice of freedom, I came to the conclusion that education is the backbone to one's success. And if that means that one must conform to learning the facts that are taught in school, then that is okay because these are the basic skills that one needs to succeed in the futre. By learning social skills and how to react to different situations, education helps an individual analyze both sides of a situation and allows them to take up their own opinion. However, this being said there are some cases in which conforming can be dangerous. If one sticks to closely to a social ideal or standard, rather than seeing the situation in their own eyes, then there is no diversity in thoughts or opinions
I plan to focus my essay on Kafka and conformity. I would like to note how in some situations, such as Gregor's, conforming can prove to be a dangerous. I would also like to focus on how Gregor skillfully represents both sides of chaos and conformity. Maybe I can take an in depth look at both sides of the spectrum and the effects of each. Lastly, I would like to include some of my findings from the interview I plan to have with my grandfather.
