Abstract

The article discusses the features of the phenomenon of conformism from the point of view of social psychology and social philosophy. The definition of conformity is given, its signs are analyzed. Using the dialectical method of research, the author makes an attempt to analyze the phenomenon of conformism and determine its role in the formation of the individual in society. The situation of forced submission and the influence of conformism on the formation of a person's critical thinking are considered. It is concluded that under the influence of conformal behavior a human being ceases to be a person, turning into a reflection of the worldview of the subjects influencing him, their norms and rules. Conformity, thus, becomes a kind of illusion, which makes it possible to have a more comfortable existence in the conditions of merging a person, an individual, with the crowd.
