I was at this "rocking" party last night. I decided
to use this party as my social psychology experiment. I
decided to use this, because there were a lot of people
interacting with one another. As I viewed the area I could
see many different clicks spread around the room. It
looked like they were only talking to the people among their
groups. The groups consisted of five or more girls and
guys. I observed the different interactions among the
different groups. As I looked around I could see that
some groups were huddled in a corner chatting as other were
running around dancing and having fun. The groups that were
dancing seem like they were much more outgoing as the
groups that sat around talking. When I decided to walk
outside the mood of the evening began to dim. People were
gathered around the table speaking calmly. However, when I
walked inside the mood changed quickly from the dim light to
a out of control spotlight. People were dancing like there
was no tomorrow. My first impression was that there was
going to be some crazy people on the dance floor would have
to be soon removed. Unfortunately my predictions were
correct! I also figured that the different groups would
not interact too much with each other. Some people were
acting like fools just so other people would notice them, and
maybe even accept them. I consider this as a type of
conformity. As I stumbled upon many groups, I realized
that the girls were much more in depth with their
conversations as though the guys. Most of the guys were
sitting there staring at all of the different girls "shaking
it" on the dance floor. By observing this crowd I was able
to conclude that girls have higher conversation level than guys. 
I also realized that conformity had to of taken place in
order for these different groups to have formed
