Leopard Man


“Leopard Man” is covered from head to toe with leopard print tattoos. In Logan Feys article proposes that, “society tends to discourage people from expressing their unique ideas and behaving in ways that are different from their peers”. I do agree with his argument, but only to a certain point.

Feys argues that society discourages non-conformity. He supports his claim by saying that society looks upon them viewing them with suspicion. The author next proceeds to claim that conformity is the world’s most common psychological disorder. Finally, the author suggests that we have to feel free from time-to-time.

Feys believes that,” society tends to discourage people from expressing their unique ideas and behaving in ways that are different from their peers”. I don’t completely agree with this. True, some non-conformist are looked down on as freaks, but not all. Someone like Will.i.am, he does his own thing, he dresses differently, his costumes are unique, but yet society doesn’t disapprove of him. Instead of being disapproved, he gained them by being a non-conformist.

Another thing Feys suggest is the fact that we must feel free from time-to-time. This I agree with completely, we can’t have society’s pressure on us 24/7. For example, kids that live in simple, the ones that live simple are usually happy because they don’t have pressure on them. Without pressure they are free, and that is what leads to complete happiness. That is why “Leopard Man” is solitary, secluded from society, to be happy.

Therefore, I agree to a point with Feys arguments. We can be a non-conformist and society won’t look down on us as a “freak”. But the most important part, in my opinion, is that we must feel free sometimes.
