Conformity In Reference To Abortion

Conformity in Reference to Abortion The first topic I would like to discuss would have to be the one on conformity and disagreement. In the beginning of our textbook (Not So Fast Page) it states that “Researchers must always keep in mind that people respond to their subjective interpretation of a situation, not the objective situation, especially when an experiment involves a potentially confusing scenario.” In chapter nine, Conformity is defined as changing one’s behavior or beliefs in response to some real (or imagined) pressure from others (p.305). Conformity is a form of social influence which is the changing someone’s beliefs, feelings, attitudes, and even changes their behavior based off of what someone says or does. In today’s society

They also do not consider the fetus alive until after birth, yet if you hit a pregnant lady you will go to jail. When that fetus begins to form in the uterus it is alive no matter how big or small it is. Society has brainwashed everyone to believe that when you abort a fetus/baby in the early stages of pregnancy that it is not really a baby or alive for that matter. This is a major issue that I find very disturbing. How can anyone be ok with killing another living being? It doesn’t matter if they are five weeks or five years old, that is still wrong and I view it as murder. I can be said that abortion could be a type of informational social influence in a way. Informational social influence is the influence of other people that results from taking their comments or actions as a source of information about what is correct, proper, or effective (p. 311). If you take a seventeen year old who has gotten pregnant and ask her what her views on abortion are, she probably would tell you that her parents told her she should do it because she is too young and she has her whole life ahead of her. This would have to be the number one cause of the conformity

To see what was taking place in that country was heartbreaking. To see women, men, children, and even babies being harmed by this chemical attack. According to TIME magazine, Eyewitnesses said the attack was carried out by jets operated by the Russian and Syrian governments, but both Moscow and Damascus denied responsibility. When President Trump heard about what happened he ordered the launch of fifty-nine Tomahawk cruise missiles at the airbase that was home to the warplanes that carried out the chemical attacks, Us officials said (http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/06/politics/donald-trump-syria-military/). By the United States getting involved in the issue with Syria, one might say that is a form of altruism. Altruism is the unselfish behavior that benefits others without regard to consequences of oneself. Although President Trump may not be at the top of some people’s list, when he stood up for those people by trying to get rid of what caused them great loss and devastation, he showed that he is not a heartless person. Some Americans feel as though the United States should not have gotten involved because as they said “it has nothing to do with us” but what was done to those poor people was inhuman and not called for. I feel like someone had to stand up for those people, but I do feel like maybe some other countries such as Korea
