Conformity: 1st paragraph

Conformity is used as a tool for both society and individuals.  Society gains peace and unity by the conformation of individuals.   Although conformity is necessary for the progression in society, it can cause people to lose sight of who they truly are.  A common theory of conformity: to conform until it starts to negatively affect, or alter the individual, has helped people create a balance between conforming and being an individual.  When my grandma moved to America, she had to integrate into the American culture to become accepted and to be able to communicate with her fellow citizens.  However, she still retained her cultural values from her homeland, Korea, and was able to raise her children with a strong Korean background.  Conforming does not necessarily make one into a sheep that just follows the masses.  Although, there are some instances where this is true,  conforming keeps order throughout society.  The natural conformity is also what guides people to behave, what is considered proper in society, through years of tradition and what is thought to be "right/just."
