Discuss situations where everyone is expected to look/act the same (uniforms, public performances, church, etc). What happens if someone doesn’t follow the rules? When is it okay not to be the same as everyone else? Students can create projects on how they are unique. For older students, explore events in history where conformism/racism was taken to extremes. What are the ramifications of these events?
