The author states we are copycats, agree or disagree?

I agree. It may not be true all the time, but most of the time it is true. Isn't it why some of us follow a religious leader in the first place. Not only that we have idles. We try to imitate their ways of success. Sometimes it is good. But in the present day things can get out of control. Look how people copy instagram influencers or youtubers and loose themselves.

I think that there needs to be a balance between copying and being original. It can get out of control and we tend to lose time by researching and trying to mimic others. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I understand what he is trying to say, but he said it the wrong way. We see people who are successful and we try to learn from them and do what they do to be as successful as they are. I wouldn't say we as humans are copycats, I would say that we learn from others. This is because whatever you do most likely won't be exactly like the original unless you are taking their idea to reap from their success which is completely different.

I understand what you are saying. I wouldn't necessarily say that he said it wrong, just that it doesn't apply to all situations. We do copy others at times. I do agree that we would be putting our own unique spin on stuff. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I agree in part. I believe we tend to mirror other people's behavior, especially if we perceive them as potential role models (consciously on not), but that doesn't always happen. In my opinion, some individuals are more prone to be influenced than others.

[Gabrielle Sigaki]

I partially agree with it. I think that we often copy some behaviors and attitudes that we see in people we admire. However, it's that mixture of knowledge and behaviors that make us what we are, so I prefer to say that we indeed tend to copy some aspects of other people attitudes, but we aren't really copycats.

I myself adopts behavior or style from my idols and I agree with this. Knowing someone copies you can also be a form of flattery and it feels good but also think to be the best version of yourself!

I agree with that. Some people are more prone to copy others, especially in particular areas. I also agree in part, but I think we tend to intentionally copy others when we need inspiration. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I can see that. When I first read it I leaned toward we are not copycats. But, I do go and look at people's ideas, if you will, in areas that interest me. I also agree that we tend to mimic other people's attitudes, at times. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I have also said imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I do look toward others for ideas in certain areas, whereas in other areas I would never copy someone. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I wouldn't say we're copy cats exactly, but humans are predominantly made in such a way to replicate or try adapt a working system they've encountered and as long as its successful, they'll stick to it.

[Njokime]

I don't quite agree that we are all copycats. I think coping a few things that successful people do, doesn't make one a copycat. Being a copycat might distract you from your main goals, and I would like to think people who copy a lot may lose themselves.

That's true. I do believe that there are people who are true copycats and others who are more true to themselves. I think it helps to balance the world. I do no think that by saying we are copycats the author meant it as a negative thing, more as a statement of fact. I can see where he is coming from. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I think you have a valid point. There are some people who are true copycats, and others who might mimic people from time to time. Some people use copying to get inspiration and make it their own, whereas others copy to copy and do not have an original idea to contribute. I agree that being a copycat can distract you from your main goals. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Every person dreams to be successful and to achieve the success they tend to copy atleast the beginning methods or tasks done by the specific successful person they saw in the field. But this doesn't go for everyone, some people do start with their own unique abilities and plans. I think it purely depends on the thought process of the person.

[Sam Lauren]

I think it is human nature to see something we like and then want that for ourselves. That does include wanting to copy someone's vibe. We will always still want to be ourselves, but by watching others and aspiring to the positive examples we see in them, we can grow.
