Advantages and Disadvantages of Conformyit
The advantages and disadvantages of conformity.
The New Zealand Oxford dictionary defines conformity as accordance with established practise and agreement suitability. Conformity comes with many advantages and disadvantages. Conformity exists so people don’t feel left out. It also comes with many dangers such as losing your logic and forgetting whether what you’re doing is good or bad.

Another advantage is school uniform, when everyone is dressed the same. Others cannot go dissing their peers on whether they wear the same clothes each day or don’t have the newest top. This way there is no battles between teachers and students regarding what’s appropriate and what’s not. School uniforms can install a sense of discipline and self-control just like in the movie ‘The Wave’. The class goes from mufti to a plain white shirt and jeans to represent themselves as a group; and to stand out and separate themselves from others.

Conformity in the 1950’s was how new trends became ‘it’. One person needs to start doing something and eventually it becomes known. It can begin with a new pair of shoes,
