Many people tend to conform to others viewpoints due to not wanting to look like the odd man out. They, although disagree, see conforming as the best course of action for themselves to make sure their social image isn't hurt or that they are looked at funny. The concept of outside perception is a theme that many young teens and sometimes young adults are known to struggle with as they grow up. I thinks it's important to realize that while this may seem like a good idea you become stale and unoriginal very quickly with this way of living.
I agree with Taylor as well; I feel as though everyone has their own opinions on many different subject matters, but when it comes to the general consensus of a public, one may want to just agree with the consensus of a public to either not start any controversy or to just simply try to fit in.
There are different responses but I agree with both Taylor and Sydney to an extent, there is a sense of conformity from most people as to not 'rock the boat.' In the context of strong opposing views specifically, many people will still publicly disagree. Political conversations and platforms are, I believe, a huge source of this loud and public disagreement. Even people at home for the holidays will argue about politics even though it's a setting in which that reaction is discouraged.
