Conformity

Mean Girls is full of examples of conformity. From the first day of school, Cady sees how other girls in the school dress, act and talk.  She transforms herself into one of the Mean Girls in order to fit in and earn her place in the school, even though it starts as a joke, she finds herself so far into it she actually turns into a mean girl. This is an example of conformity because it exemplifies Cady altering her behavior to what she believes is appropriate.

Conformity- the degree to which we will alter our behavior, attitudes, and points of view to fit our perceived expectation of what is appropriate.
