First Paragraph, First Draft

An individual can often lose himself in society if he does not uphold his moral values. Most people will agree with the majority of a group to 'fit in'. They do not want to disagree with the whole of the group in hopes of not being seen as different. While this can be seen as just to a certain extent, an individual must defend his values to refrain from losing his identity. Not only does maintaining individuality set oneself apart from others, but also shows one's moral strength and willingness to protect his values. Moreover, the individual has a voice and his opinion is important in showing opposing sides. Therefore, individuality should not be compromised to fit the needs of society because the individual loses his opinion and lacks an adherence to his own moral values.
