Conformity And Social Responsibility

In society today, we have many social responsibilities that we are almost expected to follow.

The question arising here is, should we conform to them? If we were to do so, how would it

the world we live in, we all simply just need to start conforming to our social responsibilities.

When we sit and think about the things we are expected to do, we will all see how little
