Conformism

Conformism is when people try to be like everyone else around them. Imagine you are playing with your friends and they all want to play tag. Even if you don't really like tag, you might want to play it too because you don't want to be left out or different from your friends. This is a type of conformism.

Sometimes, people conform because they want to fit in and be accepted by others. They may wear certain clothes, listen to certain music, or have the same hobbies as their friends to feel like they belong. Other times, people conform because they are afraid of being judged or criticized if they do not follow what others are doing.

Conformism can sometimes be good, like in school when we follow the rules so the classroom can run smoothly. However, it can also be bad when people give up their own beliefs and ideas just to fit in with a group. It's important to remember that we are all unique and it's okay to have different opinions or interests from our friends.
