Is conformity = stereotype?
Which one is used in ~~writting~~ writing or speaking?
Thanks in advance!

'conformity' is completely different from 'stereotype'. They are not synonyms. You can use either one of them in writing or speaking.

conformity:
compliance with standards, rules, or laws;
behaviour in accordance with socially accepted conventions

stereotype:
a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing;
a person or thing that conforms to a widely held but oversimplified image of the class or type to which they belong
