People are often quick to join the majority even when they know its wrong. This is because there is belonging in numbers, and sometimes people would rather be a part of something than do the right thing.

What is conventional morality?

A concept of proper behavior that reflects the values of a particular social or political context. Distinguished from a moral understanding which is authoritative across space and time.Much of our standard for "moral behavior" is based on ancient medical ignorance. Take the moral issue of marital fidelity (being a virgin before and staying with one partner after marriage), in ancient times people didn't know about bacteria and viruses. They thought that the horrible affictions, STDs, people who had many pertners suffered were the "wrath of God". Of course now we know differently, but many people still believe that it is morally wrong to "cheat" on one's partner, when perhaps it is only wrong because it may hurt them.The second level of Kohlberg's Three Levels of Moral ReasoningAcceptance of society's conventions considering or regarding right and wrong; At this level the individual obeys rules and follows society's norms even when there are not consequences for obedience or disobedience. (McDevitt & Ormrod 2007)

This is a natural human fault.

Nowadays, there's not as much danger, but we still make quick decisions and some of them are just wrong, like judging other people without much evidence.
