Sociological norms

Sociological norms are the unwritten rules and expectations that guide how people behave in a society. They help create order by defining what is considered acceptable or unacceptable conduct in various situations, such as manners, dress, and social interactions. Norms are learned through cultural and social influences and can vary across different groups. Following these norms helps people to communicate effectively, maintain social harmony, and foster trust. When norms are broken, it can lead to discomfort or social sanctions, but norms can also change over time as societies evolve.
