    Now conformity is said to be “the world’s most common but dangerous psychological disorder”. To be a conformist, you listen to society, you follow society’s demands, and you crave society’s attention. But to be a nonconformist, you do the opposite.

Society takes all this away from you even though you want to be your unique self.

    Merriam-Webster defines conformity as, “action in accordance with some specified standard or authority” (Merriam-Webster). With this definition in mind, one may discover that it is quite easy to conform into a society ridden with cliques of people and individuals that have similar interest as oneself. Although it may be easier to conform, conformity prevents the surrounding society from growth, inevitably making the society and its people horrendously boring and incapable of being a working individual in the stated society. Kurt Vonnegut Jr.’s “Harrison Bergeron”, “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been” written by Joyce Carol Oates, and “Musée des Beaux Arts” by W.H. Auden all vaguely discuss the necessity of individualism, understanding

  • Obedience And Conformity Essay

    395 Words  | 2 Pages

    Here we discussed the similarities of two types of conformity; obedience and compliance. When compliant an individual will act in accordance with a request whilst secretly disagreeing. An individual under the influence of obedient behaviour would be acting in accordance with a direct instruction or command. As discussed both have their similarities and differences, for instance, conformity in its purest form as a herd mentality will conform irrationally just as social contagion theory suggests. Alternatively, a group or individual displaying cognitive dissonance finds an individual has conflicting attitudes, beliefs or behaviours therefore, rationalises the situation to bring about cognitive balance to their situation in an effort to be more comfortable with their choice.

This experiment, in particular, tested the Asch Paradigm to see how far people go to feel like a member of the group. They tested this by means of an elevator experiment in which actors would go in an elevator and face the wrong way and the unsuspecting victims were left to decide for themselves whether or not to conform to the group or to instead do what they felt was considered normal.
