Conformity can make it really hard for people to be themselves in a group. Here’s how it can create problems:
Silencing Different Opinions: People might feel like they have to agree with everyone else, which stops them from sharing their own ideas.
Keep Bad Behaviors: Sometimes, harmful actions become common in a group, making the environment unhealthy.
Worry About Being Left Out: Some people might go along with the group just to fit in, even if it means giving up what they believe in.
To fix these problems, we can try a few things:
Encourage Open Talking: Create a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing their different ideas.
Support Critical Thinking: Help people learn to question group ideas instead of just going along with them.
By focusing on these things, groups can handle the tricky parts of conformity much better.
