"Our desire to conform is greater than our respect for objective facts."
- Margaret Drabble

Since the beginning of time, there has always been a structure for the way life is supposed to be given by the superior being(s) and/or nature. Society has been made to shape the ideas of the superior(s) usually holding no sense of right or wrong. Society's "one mind" has been centered on the mind of others instead of our own and what may actually be in our best interest. If you look through our history of war, media, human behavior many people are followers not leaders. In the past; communist China, the next generation's down-heel spiral following the lives of movie stars and rappers, even the constant gossip are all things that have yet to go out of style. Therefore this quote by Miss Drabble speaks only the truth about the past, present, and likely the future traditions of the world's inhabitants.
