Question

Conformity is the tendency to change our perceptions, opinions or behavior in ways that are consistent with group norms. Using this definition, would you call yourself a conformist or nonconformist? How often do you feel inclined to follow what others are saying or doing? Do you think it is beneficial for humans to be able to conform to new environments and situations? Why or why not?

Answer 1

I would call myself a conformist I would rather go along with the group norms for attaining peace rather than opposing it.But it also depends on the situation,if i feel the group norms are not ethical i would express my opinion and not conform to it.For xample if a group norm was favouring the society i would conform to it and if the group norm was against any religious beliefs and vandalism or aw breaking i would not conform to it.So one should not blindly conform to the group norms.There are ethics that have to be followed.One need not change to fit into a new environment but rather find ways to be more adaptable to such situations.
