Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "conformity".

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Conformity seems to be a person's specific propensity to match his views, values, as well as actions with that of the individuals surrounding him.
  • It's some kind of social control that requires a modification in perception or action to match through with a community. This shift is in reaction to actual or imagined influence from the party.
