Obedience Vs Conformity

I think the morality of someone is not giving at birth it is something that is learned and directly influence by their surrounding and role models. People will sometimes go against their moral compass because of harsh situation they have been put into. The minds of people are easily manipulated due to the overwhelming power of peer pressure and environment. So when does one lose their identity in a group and become a vessel that follows every order. How does one decide that the obedience in hand is justify and when to go against obedience for the sake of a better or safer outcome?
The group mind is a powerful thing. Is it even able to change people morale completely opposite from what they believe in? We as humankind have always been a pack
So as in today society when we find a group of people that work for us, we want to maintain that connection. People may find themselves modeling others in the group.
