"Norm and Action"

"Norm and Action" refers to the relationship between societal standards (norms) and individual behavior (action). Norms are the shared expectations or rules that guide how people are supposed to behave in a community, such as politeness or honesty. Actions are the actual behaviors individuals engage in. When norms are strong and clear, they influence actions, encouraging people to act in ways that align with societal expectations. Conversely, understanding how norms shape behavior helps in promoting positive actions or changing harmful ones, making this concept central to studies of social dynamics and human interactions.
