The Dark Side of conformity and Obedience: Are You in Control?

Do you ever wonder why people follow the crowd or obey authority, even when it feels wrong? This video delves into the psychology of conformity and obedience, uncovering how these behaviors influence our daily decisions and societal norms. Drawing on classic experiments like Asch's Conformity Test and Milgram's Obedience Study, we explore how peer pressure, authority, and social expectations shape our actions—and how we can break free. Join us as we unravel the forces that dictate human behavior and reveal strategies for independent thinking.
