Conventionalize

1. To make conventional. To simplify or stylize (a design, decorative device, etc)

2. A protest movement such as pro-choice activists shows well the idea of one group trying to conventionalize another. In this example individuals against pro-choice are attempting to conventionalize pro-choice advocates, trying to make them conform to accepted social standards (for them personally).

3. "Judge Perry enjoined the American Nazi Party and its leader, George Lincoln Rockwell, from demonstrating within one-half mile of any Jewish holy day, if clothed in Nazi garb or displaying Nazi symbols. He argues that such demonstrations would constitute an interference with the exercise of religious freedom by Jews attending their synagogues." (Haiman 15)
