If you know me then you know there is nothing I like more than Wagamama's. What's that you say? Only the best restaurant in the world. Founded and reaching its fame with multiple restaurants all around the United Kingdom , Wagamamas had been franchised to multiple countries all around the world, including the United States recently with restaurants in Boston and Washington DC. The cuisine is acclaimed as healthy asian fusion, specifically centered on noodles. It is hard to not enjoy yourself at Wagammas, with the atmosphere created along with the prime food. I highly recommend it and can safely say that you will find it one of your favorite restaurants.
Spread the word and bring it to LA

Conformity Vs Noteriety
Conformity can be considered a safe game most people play to achieve a successful life. Those who step out the box and subject them self to criticism, but highlight themselves as unique individuals are the ones who shine in society and receive fame and notoriety. Many still choose to remain down the safe road , which is today more practical. We can point to evidence today that those who are at the forefront of media and public attention, Charlie Sheen has gained more followers on twitter in faster time than anyone else, The jersey shore is a worldwide represented show in which characters like Snooki and the Situation have achieved attention for their complete un-conformist ideals. It seems in todays conformist society it is ironic that the thing that encompasses us the most is those who are especially unique.

Intro
Conformity is a standard for which the majority of a society perceive the desirable aspects of life in a collective view and subsequently the norms for which people should live by. Education, Religion, and Society shape the minds from the moment we are born, as we are essentially all born into conformist societies whether they be totalitarian or democratic. Those who step out these boundaries that society has set in their region are either frowned upon for acting different from the norms of education, religion, and life or greatly admired for stepping out the box and still reaching success. Understandably the goals of success for individuals may all be unique to those who don't take risks and break conformist routine, they present an unreliable option, thus causing many to play the game safely. Samsa represents the individual of a conformist life in all aspects of society and life, Kafka breaks that mold in the most ridiculous way to highlight the importance and decline of intimacy of a human subject in the world due to the matter of conformity forcing a lifestyle.

Conformity
Today, education is pushing conformist ideals towards the youth of the nation. In todays Private Schools like Buckley, we find a nature in which standards according to the school must be followed. Uniform, classes, and environment remains the same year by year. Although students may be offered a choice in what they want to learn for certain classes, the norm remains the same with a set standard. Ideally this system does work today to spit out individuals who in turn go on to be the ideal members of society, and although this meets the norm of civilized life, One can come to question the perception of freedom in society that is set in the minds of children by educational facilities and their rules. I don't believe this is the only system that exists to allow for success and the freedom of success. We educate youth on the entirety of book smarts and memorization in a environment that pushes them to act to the standard of "civilized" in the perception of todays majority. Other options can be attained from a more lenient and free choice when young, to allow to the education of street smart standards.
