RatPeer pressure, makes human  going against what they know is right, just to fit in. To conform means to accept the ideas, the fashion, the way of walking and talking that is popular at the time. A recent research at McMaster University,Canada revealed that rats also feel the peer pressure. The urge to conform appears to be so strong that they will choose to eat food they know to be unpalatable when interacting with other rats that have done the same. Until now, humans and chimps were the only other animals known to conform in this way.
