Conforming?

Soooooooo why exactly do we conform to society? What makes people follow the rules? How is that we come together as one in a society that must stick to these distinct boundaries? I honestly don't know why I'm writing about this but we're going to give it a try. So to answer the first question, why do we conform to society, do you have an answer? Think about it. Everyday we must do certain things, get dressed in the morning, go to school, go to work, why do we do these things? Do we have a choice? But, everyone is doing it, is that the reason why we conform? Why can't we set our own rules, well for a quick answer, there would be chaos, and nothing would get done. Is it this level of efficiency that makes us conform to society? What would happen if everyone tried to lead, could it really work? There are leaders and followers in our society. The leaders are the ones who go above and beyond the normal tendencies of others, this is why they are in charge. But do these leaders have a certain advantage over others? Maybe its fame, wealth, popularity, etc. So, for example, what would happen if I showed up to work in sweatpants and no shoes? Well for one, I would always wear some kind of footwear because I work in a restaurant. Is it the fear that we are forced to conform? Sure, I would never think to come into work not wearing the proper clothing, because there is a good chance of being sent home or fired. So what exactly is conforming? It seems like a bunch of people who are zombies that follow a set of rules each and every day. Btw, CC Sabathia i so good. But anyway, think about it. Why do you conform? Why do you follow the rules? Is it fear of not being accepted by society for being different or acting out? I don't really know if that made sense... I gotta go study Germany!
