Conformity is a common social psychological and behavioral phenomenon. Popular explanations are "follow the crowd" and "follow the crowd"; Everyone thinks so, so do I; Everyone does this, and I follow suit.

Some people hold a negative attitude towards "conformity". In fact, it has a dual nature: the negative side is to inhibit the development of personality, inhibit thinking, stifle creativity, and make people become opinionated and stick to the rules; But there is also a positive side, that is, it helps to learn the wisdom and experience of others, broaden our horizons, overcome stubborn opinions and blind self-confidence, correct our own way of thinking, and reduce unnecessary troubles such as misunderstandings.

Not only that, sometimes we have to "conform" to the existing axioms and facts. For example, "hens can lay eggs, cocks can't lay eggs"-this common sense that everyone admits, who can't follow it? In daily communication, nodding your head means affirmation and shaking your head means negation, which are just the opposite in a certain place in India. When you get there, if you don't "do as the Romans do", it is often difficult to move. Therefore, the social psychology and behavior of "conformity" should be analyzed in detail, and we can't think that "conformity" means that there is no opinion, "a grass on the wall, the wind blows a grass"

Naturally, in life, we should advocate the positive side of "conformity", avoid the negative side of "conformity", and strive to cultivate and improve our ability to think independently and distinguish right from wrong; When encountering and looking at problems, we should not only carefully consider the opinions and practices of most people, but also have our own thinking and analysis, so that our judgment can be correct and our actions can be decided accordingly. It is unacceptable to "conform" or "oppose conformity" in everything.
