At present, the concept of "punishing the small and not punishing the public" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, leading to the "conformity effect" everywhere. Many people with herd mentality follow the trend in words, in behavior and in thought. This phenomenon is very common in life and can't be stopped. We call this thoughtless behavior "blind conformity".

It is not good to "blindly follow the crowd." The crow saw the geese flying across the sky in an orderly way, and tried to fly in line like geese, but the result ended in failure. Coincidentally, the young guards heard that Handan people walked beautifully, so they rushed to Handan to learn footwork from others. But for many years, he not only failed to master the unique walking skills of Handan people, but also forgot his initial walking steps. As a result, he had to climb home. It can be seen that "blindly following the crowd" is not desirable.

In 2002, Tang Wanxin, who ranked 27th on the Forbes Chinese mainland 100 list, blindly adopted Jack Welch's "General Electric Model" when it was popular all over the world, and adopted diversification, integration of industry and finance, mergers and acquisitions, which led to the closure of his Delong Group in less than three years. Together, Song Ruhua of the former Top Group and Zhao of Sanjiu Group fell into a herd effect. They all blindly followed the "Ge model", which led to one drifting overseas and one leaving. From these examples, we can see the harm of "conformity effect".

However, not everyone is blindly following the crowd. It is also the face of the "Ge model". Zhang Ruimin, the head of Haier, did not blindly follow the crowd. He invited Professor Yang Peiting, a famous domestic management scientist, to Qingdao for discussion, and made a critical evaluation of the "Ge model". Zhang Ruimin stubbornly retained his own personality and successfully created the brilliance of Haier! Therefore, in the face of "conformity effect", we should adhere to our own principles and treat conformity phenomenon rationally.

To treat the herd phenomenon rationally, we must stick to the guidelines in our hearts. It is the behavior of children who lack self-control and thinking to rush headlong and disperse in a hubbub. People with guidelines in mind will think twice before doing anything. Only by adhering to the guidelines in your mind can you stop when the red light is on, burn incense and burn the midnight oil when many students rest, and maintain your independence in a crowded society.

My friend, please don't blindly follow the crowd. When you encounter a choice, please stick to the rules in your heart and don't let other people's behavior affect your judgment.
