Social identity plays a big role in how people follow rules and listen to others. Often, this makes them value what their group thinks more than their own beliefs. This can lead to a few important issues:
Pressure to Fit In: People may do things that are not good just to be accepted by the group.
Loss of Self: What someone personally believes can get lost when they focus too much on being part of the group.
To tackle these problems, it's important to encourage people to think for themselves. By promoting critical thinking and helping individuals feel they have a say in groups, we can support better choices and lessen the chances of people following orders blindly.
