Conformity
The tendency for all human beings to atttempt to belong to a group of people,
by any means necessary, in order to feel secure and wanted. Conformity is displayed particularly well by
weak-minded individuals who fear loneliness, and when alone feel too afraid to stand up for themselves. Conformity is allowing anything other than your own true desires to influence your decision making. Conformity is what
separates the true individuals, who are oppressed and hated, from everybody else.

The idiocy of people who label people based on what they wear how they act and their
life goals. They tend to consider themselves better then the opposite of what they label themselves even if everyone is equal.
goths and emo
peopel tend to label preps as bitches who think less of goths and emo people and basically everyone else(and call them
conformists) when actually preps dont even notice them.
Example:

conformists .the opposite of conformity is not non comformity its indiffrence to the fact that someone is
diffrent then you and hanging out with who you like not just people "like you"

Conformity is the act of 'blending in with the crowd' or emulating the actions of another individual, group, or belief system. Conformity can be linked to a
fear of rejection or the presence of apathy in a person.
For instance, in a school-system, different social
sects will conform to a certain style of clothing or behavior in order to fit in with a certain group. Conformity is also a part of conversation. In our daily lives, we will consistently conform to the opinions and ideas of other people. Conforming to the idea of another doesn't necessarily mean agreeing with something they say that you don't believe in, but it can be, and this is where the negative side of
conformity comes from.
In conversational conformity, one can sit back and watch while someone they like/befriended is being attacked or even join in. This example of negative conformity is often found in schools and in the workplace. The desire for acceptance drives people to offer negative information about another person in order to fuel their conversational
counterpart's drive for drama.
Example:
Conformity
"Isn't that Jenny just a skank?" -Breann
"I know! I've heard so much crap about her. Let me tell you." -Leah
"I'm going to the game tomorrow, but
my folks are going to Church. You going to the game?" -Joseph
"Of course, if you're going. I'd just have to skip Church." -Ben
Nonconformity
"Isn't that Jenny just a skank?" -Breann
"I like Jenny, and Jenny is my friend." -Leah
"I'm going to the game tomorrow, but my folks are going to Church. You going to the game?" -Joseph
"Nah, man. My parents are making me go to Church, but even if they weren't, I'd still go anyway. I like Church." -Ben

When a dictator, such as a coach, makes you change all aspects of your thinking or ways of doing things to make he/she happy. People who conform are usually suck ups or do not want to get punished, but in the end there will most likely be punishment, such as running until you throw up or screaming at you until you want to cry. Most of the time it is the
coach's way or the highway. A lot of times
the dictators are hypocrites, who say their rules but don't always back them up.
Rule of thumb: don't conform shawty!
Example:
The coach makes the players
conform when he makes players tuck their uniforms in, take their steel
cleats off on the bus or going into ANY public place, hit a certain way, wear sleeves under 70 degrees, and
abide by his rules only.
