Conformity

Conformity means when people do things because they think they should or because others around them are doing it. It is like copying what others do or thinking the same way as others do. For example, if all your friends like a certain type of music, you might decide to like the same type of music too, even if it's not your favorite. Or if you all decide to wear the same color shirt, you may do it even if it isn't your favorite color. Conformity is a way of fitting in with the group.
