Conformity

I am not going to focus on pressure but rather the lack thereof. I say this because in my grandmother's circumstances, being raised to go along with society's ways of life was just normal for her. This is why I say that there is a lack of pressure because rather than being forced to do certain things, she was kept from doing certain things. For example, she was never taught to read or write because women were not allowed to so when she was younger. To this day she has still not been taught to read or write because that is how she was raised: thinking that women are not supposed to read or write. Another example of this is that sterotypes that used to be the norm and now would be considered outrageous, she still believes and follows; again, because that is how she was raised. So, my view on the situation is really that we as humans have evolved and become more educated about the world and people.
