conformist
含义: A person who uncritically follows the customs, rules, or standards of a group; someone who conforms to prevailing social norms rather than challenging them.
Conformist is usually pejorative in modern usage, implying a lack of independent thought or courage. It is the opposite of 'iconoclast' and 'contrarian.' In British history, 'Conformist' (capitalised) specifically meant someone who conformed to the established Church of England, as opposed to Nonconformists. The modern sense carries an accusation of intellectual timidity or willingness to sacrifice individuality for social acceptance.
