Conformity

Richard Orben once said 'graduation is when the commencement speaker tells thousands of students in identical caps and gowns that diversity is the key to success.' This was my senior quote. It fits well with conformity, because we forget that at graduation, everyone is the same as everyone else, except for the top 10 that get to graduate first and the officers, valedictorian, and salutatorian that get to make a speech. It's ironic that we're reminded about diversity when we all are dressed exactly the same for the most part, barring a few rebels that decide to wear sandals anyway even though the vice-principle specifically told everyone not to.

Conformity - Adjusting one's behavior or thinking to coinicide with a group standard.
