Abstract
This paper will explore the factors that lead a person to conform to society and what drives an individual to confidently be himself. Everyone is subject to conforming at one point or multiple points, in his/her life. Today, diversity in beliefs is common and attainable to most, enabling people to conform faster. This paper will target the topic of Muslim youth conforming to a non-Muslim society. However, conformity is not necessarily the sole outcome of being introduced into a society with different norms. Factors such as having a solid Islamic foundation, finding a group of people who share common beliefs, and at times being able to be independent, allow an individual to reject the negative pressure of society and stand strong in their values.
