It is more harmful to compromise one's own beliefs than to adhere to them.
Compromising one’s belief will be followed by a lot of defamation on one’s reputation. However, it is not necessarily true that the adherence is not harmful as well and sometimes, compromising is less harmful than the adherence to one’s beliefs. The following essay will argue why that is.
Admittedly, compromising one’s belief can bring a huge damage to some people who need people’s support. For instance, politicians who changed one’s political stance since its original party was suffering from the political crisis, will lose his or her existing popularity. This applies the same to the musicians who changed its major genre from rock to pop music. Fans who liked the rock music of them might stop listening to their music after the change. However, the compromising behavior also presents an opportunity to the failing politicians and musicians as they move toward the trend of the society. The politician could become popular again for new political stance and it is likely that the musician becomes successful thanks to its new songs which were better than people expected.
Likewise, those who compromise do better off than those who stuck to one’s belief. For instance, during the Japanese Colonial Period, many pro-Japanese people in Korea could escape from their violence and earn a decent job and money. However, those who keep refusing to the subjugation to the Japanese power, they lost all of their jobs and could not make a success while they are alive. In addition, social activists in the authoritarian government, they had to face severe oppression by the authority. Many people are tortured and die in jail. Therefore, in an unjust society, it can be more harmful to adhere to one’s belief than compromising it.
To sum up, keeping one’s belief is an admirable stance for people, but it is more likely to be harmful to its life when the majority or the powerful is against the belief. Therefore, it is less harmful to compromise one’s belief in the society.

Essay evaluation report
flaws:
1. Those topic sentences are not for argument, but for examples, like: 'compromising one’s belief can bring a huge damage to some people who need people’s support.'
Topic sentences are more general to cover all situations. or we can think topic sentences == advantages, like:
compromising one’s belief can save time.
compromising one’s belief can make money.
compromising one’s belief can make more friends.
.....
-----------------
2. most of the content are examples. need more arguments. and the examples are used to support the arguments. the correct pattern is like this:
paragraph 2: reason 1 + why reason 1 + example of reason 1 + a small conclusion (like advantages of reason 1 or comparisons if not reason 1).
paragraph 3: reason 2 + why reason 2 + example of reason 2 + a small conclusion (like advantages of reason 2 or comparisons if not reason 2).
paragraph 4:...
here reason 1 and reason 2 are topic sentences.
