Is there virtue in "sameness" and "conformity"?
In modern Western society uniqueness and individual differences are celebrated, but do you think sameness and conformity are still valid ideals to hold?

shareOf course, but they're more expectations. Uniqueness and differences are surprises.
shareOnly in the workplace.
sharePeople like uniformity. If I go to Starbucks, I expect them to all sell the same menu.
If I go to a supermarket, a roughly expect them to stock the same things.
I like uniqueness in some ways but not others. Take for example indicators (turn signals) on cars, I've noticed luxury brands taking liberties like they make patterns. I'd prefer them to all just blink the same (and I hate how in America, the brake light blinks, it should be its own unique yellow light.)
