For the most part, if we can relate to them, we can get along with them, but if we have nothing in common, we will clash. Conformity is when you change and mold yourselves to societies standards, or another individuals standards Usually a society decides by your status or money, or by if you go by their beliefs or not Our attitudes and beliefs influence our thinking by how we make decisions and how we execute them When you belong to a group, you usually can relate to them, and they usually share the same characteristics as you Membership is defined by the club or leader, and by its rule & standards
