I'm not related to Solomon Asch, but I was pretty impressed when I learned about his conformity experiments in psychology class. All my life I've been aware of the pressure to conform, and I have rarely liked it. I think "role models for defiance" as described by Stanley Milgram&mdash;people who are willing to stick their head out and in doing so inspire other, more timid people&mdash;are among the most valuable contributors to justice and social equality there is.
