0Conformity could be applied to a group or an individual. A sub group could conform to a larger group. An individual could conform to a group. Hey, it's possible that a group could conform to an individual if that individual has some type of authority over that group.02br

00 A. John's conformity has gotten so out of control that he doesn't know who he is anymore. (Add so, and you're good to go!)02br
02br
00B. You're using conformity right, but you have other issues in that sentence because it could be misunderstood to be saying that the judge hates conformity and that he hates to be himself. 02br
02br
00C. That's a very awkward usage. I don't think it would be accepted for publication or anything formal. Conforming to the Mexican mafia gang, Tony started dressing and acting like them.02br
02br
00D. No, I don't think that works. I don't even know what you're trying to say. Are you trying to say that Elvis' clothes conformed to the shape of his body?0-

Hi,
conformity actually means to try to fit in with everyone ;example;he did not raise his hand in class,but everyone else did raise their hand No, this is nonconformity, because he did something that the others did not do.

Conformity is eg he raise his hand in class because everyone else in class raised their hands.
