Conformity is when people allow their actions to be influenced by others so in other words conformity is just a sophisticated way of saying "peer pressure." Conformity effects people of all ages. It allows us to follow the social standards set by society. What Drabble is trying to say about conformity is that since people try so hard to blend in with others we ignore obvious facts that go against something believed by the majority of society. Conformity is a trait that we probably don't know we have, but we can't help but continue using it. it's just like they say, when in Rome do as the Romans do.
