Conformity is a posture or attitude towards life, which plunges the individual into a well of blind acceptance, regardless of whether the circumstances are negative or positive, and which eliminates all possibility of change and progress. This, in some occasions, can simply be a decision made to face certain opportunities, as a kind of tool that would avoid leaving the comfort zone. Similarly, it does not always lead to stagnation; On the contrary, accepting the living conditions they have, one can hope to improve them, as in the case of people with disabilities, who seek support from people in the same state.
It should be noted that there are differences between a conformist person and one who is satisfied. The first simply obviates the small opportunities for progress, using justification to let the environment know that, as it is, it feels good and does not intend to risk losing it; the person who is satisfied, however, will not reject the change that is coming, since he accepts the comfort he has and is open to take initiative in new projects. Generally, conformism can manifest itself as a product of the education received, in addition to the behavior observed in the family nucleus; Some point out that, frequent failures, lack of motivation and the absence of a fighting spirit.
Normally, conformists are seen as people of great mediocrity. In social groups, they may be susceptible to the opinions of others, accepting them even though they disagree with them; This usually occurs because the position within the community is valued and there is fear of losing it.
