The conformity trap is a classic thinking trap: "everybody does it in that way", accordingly: "it's the right thing to do."
It is important to be alert with the conformity trap because it feeds the follower approach, not innovative, encouraging to leave things as they are.
How to avoid it?:
1. Discard the influence of others. When analyzing the information, avoids at first the opinions of the others. This is the best way to decide without being subconsciously influenced by generalized opinions.
2. Beware of the search for "social acceptance". Always be alert when someone tries to convince you to argue about the acceptance that an election would have, rather than on its merit.
3. Be firm. Be willing to overcome obstacles and defend their points of view, despite their unpopularity.
