Community Norms

Community norms are the shared expectations and behaviors that members of a group or society agree to follow. They help create a respectful and organized environment by guiding how people interact, communicate, and conduct themselves. These norms aren’t formal rules but accepted standards that promote harmony and cooperation. For example, greeting others politely or respecting different opinions are common community norms. They vary across communities and cultures but serve the purpose of fostering positive relationships and ensuring everyone feels safe and included.
