Compliance occurs when an individual agrees to a request from others, especially in a social context, even if they might not fully agree or believe in the request. In this scenario, Sirima's decision to forward the email petition, influenced by receiving it from multiple friends, is an example of compliance. She may not necessarily believe in the petition's cause deeply but chooses to participate due to the social pressure or influence from her friends.
