Conformism cannot be avoided in today's society

I will attempt to defend the resolution first by analytics then situational applications. I would ask that my opponent would stick to the numbering system provided in this speech so we can keep track of arguments. Alright, let's begin. 1) Let's open this round with a definition of conformity: "correspondence in form, nature, or character; agreement, congruity, or accordance" (http://dictionary.reference.com...) . With that definition it is obvious to apply that to the molding of one's self to meet a "normal" social protocol. However, nonconformity in itself has its own "standards", if you will. To be a nonconformist is to be one's own person, and to not let outside influences alter your true character. Essentially, nonconformity has its own set of rules or guidelines, no matter how few they may be. So really even to be a nonconformist, you have to conform to a set of standards in order to be known as a "nonconformist". Really, nonconformity is just a title. 2) Let's apply conformism to today's social standards. We all are aware of bullying and its influence in the school, and I am in no way intending to take a stance on bullying in this speech. I myself have had experiences with bullying as well. Essentially, bullies bully their victims because the victims have quirks that the bullies may find irritating or annoying, so they force them to conform to their standards on how to act in order to quench their grievances (whether or not it stems from a psychological occurrence is irrelevant in this debate). And as we come to find out, bullying is not limited to the playgrounds of our old grade school, but it is found almost commonly in high school, college, and even in the adult world. Another type of bullying that falls under this category is what I like to call "subtle bullying". Subtle bullying isn't necessarily performed by one person, nor is it violent, but it's basically what we call social protocol. Say I have a habit of chewing my food loudly when I eat. My family I am eating dinner with will not find this appealing and will give me some sort of signal as to show their disapproval, whether it be a glare or even a slight smirk. This situation can also be applied to larger scenarios in order to fully show society's way of shaping a person's demeanor. 3) Finally, conformism is prevalent in our literal and everyday lives. Let's take driving, for example. If there were no rules or conformity whatsoever people would drive where ever they damn well please, whether it be off road, through houses, or into ditches, it would be chaos! Another prime example of conformity is the site we all know and love, DDO. There are guidelines as to what arguments are deemed desirable to the judges as well as how to properly refute them. I know there are many different ways to attack/judge arguments, but it is the debater's job to be able to conform to these regulations to ensure a good debate and maybe even a win, if we're lucky. Really, conformity can be applied to almost any everyday situation. To summarize my constructive, I provided a definition of the word "conformity" and applied it to different aspects of conformity. Also, I proved why it is evident in modern society specifically through bullying and society's little nuances. Finally I literally applied the word conformism to our everyday lives. My constructive is now over, and I look forward to hearing my opponent's response.
