whats a good example of conforming?

Answer 1

example - not definition

we wear clothes to school in order to conform to the social norm that being naked in public is unacceptable.

Answer 2

Immigrants who came to the USA or Canada between say, 1930 to about the mid-70's exemplify conformance. They understood that they were adopting a new culture, not strictly bringing their old one to a new country. They learned the customs, nuances and most importantly became fluent in the new native language. (English in the case of the USA)

Some examples that lie in contrast to conformance, (or only partial conformance) would be the many Mexican immigrants (some legal, some not) who never successfully learn the language. In many cases however they do espouse similar social and religious beliefs. Another example would be people of middle eastern descent. They usually do very well with the language aspect, but never successfully integrate from a social perspective because they seldom espouse the Christian principles that (the USA in this case) the country was founded on.

So, there are some examples of conforming and not conforming. Celebrating diversity is divisive. Instead celebrate assimilation.
