Are People Sheep?

Social conformity becomes the subject of vigorous discussion as Fred Davis and an NFB crew supply evidence that the answer to the title question is yes. Common, everyday incidents are cited as examples of the slavish obedience to custom apparent in our society. The views of Dr. Everett Bovard of the University of Toronto, and of Dr. Brock Chisholm, a well-known psychiatrist, contribute some food for thought.
