The sad truth is that most people want to be led by the hand and told what to do. Some of them can't even decide what to order at MacDonald's. These people don't know what to do with freedom. They are going to believe whatever they are told to believe, if it seems trendy and stylish. They are more concerned about being part of the herd than with where the herd is going.

It is my firm belief (and sincere hope), that what you describe is Learned Behavior, and not a de facto human trait. We are conditioned fairly young to acquiesce to the demands of the local tribe, which probably isn't terrible in itself, but may 'teach' the subservience you've described.
