Answer 1

No. Conformity requires that you base your behavior on what other people are doing, not being told to do so.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conformity change your own natural behavior to match to the one of the group you're being influenced by. That could real peer pressure like a gang or a popular group at school, or imaginary like the 'standards' or norms of the society you live in. Conformity is driven by our innermost desire to "fit in", to be "part of the gang" and so on. No one likes to be rejected and wants to be part of a group of some kind.
