Conforming to the ideas or opinions of others is a loaded concept for many of us, resulting in some instinctual "not me, not ever" reactions. However, without some conformity, the dance where individuals create and evolve successful societies is impossible.

This article grom Greater Good reviews the book "Conformity" by Cass Sunstein, giving a glimpse into how conformity works - both to our good and harm. We CAN learn to balance the interests of both the group and the individual.
