Common Norms

Common norms are the shared rules, behaviors, and expectations that guide how individuals interact within a society. They help establish what is considered acceptable or appropriate in various social situations. These norms can vary by culture and context, influencing aspects of daily life such as communication styles, manners, and traditions. Adhering to common norms helps facilitate cooperation, understanding, and social cohesion, while deviations can lead to misunderstandings or conflicts. Overall, these norms shape our interactions and contribute to the functioning of communities.
