	abstract = {This paper studies theoretically the aggregate distribution of revealed preferences when~heterogeneous individuals make the trade o? between being true to their real opinions and~conforming to a social norm. We show that in orthodox societies, individuals will tend to either~conform fully or ignore the social norm while individuals in liberal societies will tend to~compromise between the two extremes. The model sheds light on phenomena such as polarization,~alienation and hypocrisy. We also show that societies with orthodox individuals will be liberal on~aggregate unless the social norm is upheld by an authority. This suggests that orthodoxy cannot be maintained under pluralism.},
