What are some modern conveniences we take for granted in our life

Some things we take for granted are: electricity, electronics, and cars. We think these things are plentiful and can replaced easily. When the power goes out, people become so bored, I know I do because you have nothing to do except sit around the house. Some people break things they need everyday, phones, tablets, tv's, GPS, etc... Not because they don't need it, because they think they can get a new one cause they can. Cars are also taken for granted, because people don't follow the rules of the road, that's how we have so many accidents, and deaths off of them.

In what ways do people today still struggle with tensions between individuality and conformity?

The problem today is people don't know if they wanna be an individual or an conformity. Being an individual, you are a standout from the rest, while a conformity, changes the way he/she/it does things in order to fit in with the rest. I think individuality is the best way to be because your different and not similar to others. You don't have to be like everyone else  to get along with them.
