Is uniqueness in and of itself a virtue? Or being "part and parcel of x"? Hooliganism used to be part and parcel of the English game; that didn't mean it was a good thing. The blowing of vuvuzelas at football games might have many things to recommend it, but merely being part of current practice is not one of those things.
- raeez 16y agoyour argument fails to fulfill its original point - i.e. you haven't successfully argued why uniqueness isn't a virtue. There certainly are cases where other factors are more important, but I for one value uniqueness - especially when it comes to differentiating one's self on a global scale.
- ionfish 16y agoNot so—I'm merely pointing out where the burden of justification lies, not staking out a contrary position. Merely asserting that something is unique doesn't serve to justify the implication that uniqueness is a virtue.
