Thoreau was strongly critical of conformity and meeting social expectations, viewing them as obstacles to genuine individuality and self-reliance. He believed that people should follow their own principles and moral compass, rather than blindly conforming to societal norms that he saw as shallow and materialistic. Through his writings, especially in "Walden" and "Civil Disobedience," Thoreau advocated for nonconformity and encouraged individuals to live deliberately and authentically.
