The Demise of Uniqueness
We live in a society where every person is being pushed into
the so-called community pressure or the social pressure. If we
pause our life for a minute and see, that each and every action
we do are being calculated or judged by an individual or a
group. These kinds of judgements created by the people are
later being translated as the socio pressure. “Herd mentality”

adopt similar behaviours as the people around them — often
ignoring their own feelings in the process. This affects one’s

in one’s both personal and work life. Herd mentality can be
explained by using a simple example, if a movie is released
when a majority group brands the film as an average one
the remaining people tends to follow it before watching the
film. Opinions changes depending upon their perspectives.
