Will The Real You Please Stand Up?
Submit to pressure from your peers and you move down to their level.
Speak up for your own beliefs and invite them up to your level.
If you move with the crowd, you’ll get no further than the crowd.
When 40 million people believe in a dumb idea, it’s still a dumb idea.
Simply swimming with the tide leaves you nowhere.
So, if you believe in something that’s good, honest, and bright – stand up for it!
Maybe your peers will get smart and drift your way.

This is on my office wall at work and my home office. This I taught to my sons.
You must stand up for what you believe in. We can learn from you.
We might not always agree with you, but we all must take our lumps and criticisms along the way.
You mentioned culture. I am a meber of the gun culture. I do not like being referred to as a gun nut. I do not like being referred to as a redneck. I am a firearms enthusiast.
