Conformity

With my powerful persuasive techniques I was able to cast a number of people to perform and obey my simple requests. These tasks included leading others, manual labour, snacking and pecking the floor.

With my dancing and hand shake experiments, I have found that the social pressure has been extremely difficult for most people to overcome and furthermore, the unwillingness to do so. The way people are so influenced by the perception of others to behave in a 'appropriate' way is limiting and closing off any possible social interaction with strangers. 
For the hand shake experiments I intend to place an obstruction/ something to make people aware of my presence to hopefully shake them out of this compliance to not interact with strangers. 

For the dancing experiments I plan to start off with a group of people then see if that will encourage more people to dance, also perhaps incorporating my study of mapping.
