text: I would guess you are asking how the book shows conformity. To that I would have to point out that in the book there is little to no reading material. The people only see art through their television which is run by the government. Without seeing any creativity through either written form or other artistic outlets, a person would not have any thoughts against their given reality. \n\nThe book runs along the same lines as the movie 1984 which also has the theme of destroying all manner of creativity and controlling the population through created and fabricated information. \n\nThe book does show though that even though people can be fed false information, eventualy (in the case of the main character) they will reject their created reality and will go off in search of the truth. Much the same happend in the movie 1984 and other similar big brother style movies and books. Even the popular movie The Matrix has similar ties in that people are forced into a fabricated reality and over time many come to believe something is wrong with their existance and question what is real and what is not.
