The factors the contribute to a personal judgment that leads to conformity are peer pressure and the social influence to fit in ("Module 11.4: Conformity‚ Compliance‚ and Obedience." n.d). For example‚ a person will more likely agree on the wrong answer in history class if the other students chose that answer as well.

Disobedience To Authority Disobedience has alway been thought as a sin. Is this always the case? Sin has always been associated with disobedience‚ but try to think of it from a different perspective. Disobeying authority allows for a change in freedoms‚ and these changes cause a change in the populous‚ as well as a change in the authority that we are disobeying. If it can do all of these things‚ then is it really a bad form of communication to authority? In my opinion it is not because sometimes
