Group Behavior and Conformity, sociology homework help

We tend to think that our behavior and who we are as people is independent of those around us. The people we encounter and the groups we belong to, however, help to shape our behavior—oftentimes in ways we are not aware. Watch the video, Conformity: In the Real-Life Lab (see Resources) and respond to the following questions in your initial post:

• What impact do social expectations of the group, including role expectations, have on your behaviors and self-identity?
• What role might social status play when looking at peer pressure and conformity?
• How do social hierarchies affect how we respond?
• Can you think of any examples from your personal life where a group has affected your behavior?
