Introducing an ally who resisted the majority caused conformity levels to drop sharply (5%). The presence of an ally makes an individual feel more confident and better able to stand up to the majority. Asch also discovered that people are better able to resist pressure to conform if the decision has a moral dimension. For Asch’s participants, the costs of conforming were not particularly great given the insignificance of the task. However if the behaviour is judged as immoral such as joining others in cheating there is less evidence of conformity as the costs are perceived as greater.

The victim could be discriminated by a valued group/individual or powerful group/individual.
UNIT 203: Principles of diversity, equality and inclusion in adult social care 1 Understand the importance of equality and inclusion 1.1- Diversity: Diversity literally means difference. Diversity recognises that though people have things in common with each other, they are also different and unique in many ways. Diversity is about recognising and valuing those differences. Diversity therefore consists of visible and non-visible factors, which include personal characteristics such as background, culture, personality and work-style in addition to the characteristics that are protected under discrimination legislation in terms of race, disability, gender, religion and belief, sexual orientation and age. By recognising and understanding our individual differences and embracing them, and moving beyond simple tolerance, we can create a productive environment in which everybody feels valued.

The experience of dementia between an individual who has acquired it as an older person and the experience of an individual who has acquired it as a younger person may not be very different. The effects that dementia brings will be the same for both individuals as dementia does not discriminate. The care both individuals receive will differ and their own attitude towards it may also differ greatly.
