In the article “ The Sociology of Leopard Man “ by Logan Feys is about how the author Logan feels about “ how society tends to discourage people from expressing their unique ideas and behaving in ways that are different from their peers “. I agree with the author .

Logan Feys argument in this article is that he doesn't like people who  try to get attention. He said “ Normally , i find myself unimpressed with individuals who radically change their appearance through extreme tattooing . piercings , hair mutilation , etc. “  It is clear that he doesn't like people who try to do something crazy to get society's attention; therefore, he says “ he is in no position to judge his particular choice “.

To prove the point of Logans’ argument would be when he said “ society looks down upon freakish and extraordinary individuals alike and views them  with suspicion “. He also said “ ordinary people fear of what they don't understand “. Nevertheless , the evidence strongly points that everyone is conformity with one another .

Lastly ,  I agree with the author because I don't think that people should try to be like others . People should also not change for society to like them. Logan said “ To be human is to be an individual human , with individual tastes , talents , values, and dreams that are distinct from those of others” . I believe that everyone has that something that not everyone does and thats what makes them unique . And i believe this because everybody is different which means something is different about each and one of us.

In conclusion, I agree with what what Fey is arguing about. I agree that people should just be themselves and not try to be others . And also that people shouldn't do crazy things to get society's attention.
