Has society killed individualism?
Everyone is affected by societal influence, no exceptions. Therefore, it is only logical to assume that we are all just manifestations of our various influences. So we aren't individuals, just a mass of conformity. This would mean there is no way for anyone to be an individual. For example, if i was born somewhere totally different from where i was, i wouldn't be who i am today. And depending on how large of a scale we view "society" we can see how largely it affects everyone. Any thoughts on this? Any intelligent rebuttals?
