In today’s society, norms are expected by everyone. According to the book Essentials of Sociology a Down- To- Earth Approach, Hansen states that norms are expectations of "right” behavior (Hansen, 2014). There are also two forms of norms that may be strictly enforced or not. There is folkways and mores. Folkways are norms that aren’t strictly enforced while mores are strictly enforced for essential thought to care values or the well-being of a group (Hansen, 2014). Along with a norm and the two types, there may also be reactions to it. These reactions may be positive or negative and termed as sanctions. Sanctions are either expressions of an approval given to people for upholding norms or expression of disapproval for violating them (Hansen, 2014). In conducting a norm experiment, the terms were put to a test. The experiment consisted of an observed norm violation and an individual norm violation. The experiments resulted in what I had hypothesized. My hypothesis consisted of sanctions of the norms that were conducted.

The first norm I violated was sitting with my own “clique” during lunch. This is more than common in high schools and even middle schools. In regards to social control, this norm creates a spot in society for an individual, giving them a sense of belonging. This sense of belonging leads to self-assigned seats and allows people with similar interests or ideals to be better connected. To violate this norm I sat with people who did not know who I am without asking prior to sitting down.

In our society we have a number of society norms that we abide by. For example, there is an unwritten rule of how one should behave in an elevator. For example, it is proper to face front, stand away from strangers, and not to look at others. When a social norm is broken people may respond with alarm, humor, fear, irritation, or an array of other emotions. When you think of a norm, you are probably thinking about being normal. But in psychology terms, norm means, a standard or representative value for a group. The norm that is more common to people is a social norm. Meaning expectations about what behavior, thoughts, or feelings are appropriate within a given group within a given context.

My mother has always told me that certain things should not be done in public. Social norms are opinions and beliefs that are shared amongst a group. Throughout our lives our parents tell us things that aren’t socially acceptable, and that there are consequences for those actions. Those that don’t act in ways that are socially acceptable are isolated from society. Norms help to guide the general public by reinforcing it with a punishment in waiting.

Norms are rules of conduct that specify appropriate behavior in a given range of social situations. A norm either prescribes a given type of behavior or forbids it. Norms represent the dos and don’ts of society. These social norms are the social rules that lead us to conform, even though these rules aren’t always defined. Not knowing these social norms can be distressing so we conform only based on what people perceive as being the norm. In the movie The Breakfast Club, the five students of high school stereotypes of a nerd, princess, jock, criminal, and loner, have been kept apart because of social norms. Due to the fact that they were all brought together in Saturday detention, they have to look past their stereotypes and overcome these social norms. For example there is a scene where John, or the criminal, questions what the point or value is of joining clubs. When he does this he challenges social norms that the other students care about. Not only that but he is conforming to his individual norms of being rebellious and to be hated. People like this are the type to live on the streets or in trailer parks. These types of teenagers are likely to have drug addicted, alcoholic, and abusive parents, and these are the teenagers that seem to be pre-determined to become just as bad as they’re parents are…if not worst. John, and others like him tend to be disliked, disrespected and unfortunately treated unfairly by both adults and they’re peers. In the end though John Bender is essential in the movie because he makes the other kids in detention question who they think they are in society, and who they really are. This is when a norm becomes a part of their individual personality, thus making them conform to society. In the end it is revealed that they are all the same because they all have the same norms of each other and the same values of a

Norms are behaviors or rules that set forth what is expected of us as people and as a society.

A norm is a behavior or unspoken rule that society has deemed as normal or acceptable. Those who do not follow the norms of a group may be shunned or looked at as different. The norm I will be violating for my project is asking people that I am unfamiliar with to do something simple for me. It is not common for a stranger to ask another stranger to do something that they are seemingly able to do. This norm acts as a mechanism of social control by keeping people from talking to those who are unfamiliar. It also puts forward the idea that we should be able to do all simple tasks ourselves. To break this norm, I am going to wear tennis shoes with one of the laces untied and ask strangers passing by to tie my shoe for me.

According to this theory, people follow social norms because of their attachment to others. People care about others’ perceptions of them, so they are likely to conform to social expectations (Andersen et al., 2016). In the library, people conform to the social rule of keeping quiet because they know that others are expecting them to be. The developer of social control theory, Travis Hirschi, would probably view people’s behavior in the library as a result of their attachment to social norms. Even if people usually would say hello to each other in different settings, the expectations of people in the library stop them from participating in deviant behavior. If Hirschi were to see me performing my norm violation, he would most likely view my deviant behavior as a result of my weakened attachment to social

Norm violations are a form of actions that do not seem right to some people. Let’s say that you are in a public place, you are expected to act respectful and normal. Norms describes the expectation of a behavior. (James M. Henslin) One can perform a norm violation by doing the opposite of that, like invading personal space. There can be different reactions to violated norms which sociologists call sanctions. (Henslin) Mores, folkways, and values revolve around norms as well.

It is “proper” to face front, stand away from strangers, and not to look at others.

A social norm is some sort of an expectation that our society has that is deemed normal by that society; they tell us which behaviors, thoughts, or feelings are appropriate within a given

I am going to be talking about rules and norms. First I am going to talk about rules. The definition of a rule is an explicit, officially stated guideline that governs group functions and member behavior. There are many examples of rules in the movie, but I am going to talk about one particular incident. In beginning of movie when the students first arrive for detention, Principal Vernon sets down the rules, what he expects them to do, and to behave under his supervision. He does this to show that he is the one in charge and they must follow his rules or face further Saturdays of detention. Now, I will show you this clip.

I attend Pattonville High School, which is a public school that has many different norms for many different types of people. One norm is that all the kids with good grades will rush to class, for no reason, they just do it. A different norm is that all the people that have girlfriends always walk them to class, even if they get a tardy, you never let them walk alone. A different norm involves the surroundings of the school. There is a Seven-Eleven less than half a mile away from the school, and whenever you have a game, or meet you walk up their buy food, or if you didn’t bring any money you go up and try to smooch off of people. Another norm is that during your sports’ season you sit with everyone on your team, even if its only you as a freshmen

A norm is defined as expectations, or rules of behavior that reflect and enforce behavior.(Henslin, 2009) When people are in public settings we expect individuals to behave in a certain way. For example when standing in line to see a show or to purchase an item we expect everyone to stand in a single file line. We expect individuals to wait their turn as they proceed to the front of the line. Another expectation or norm is we expect individuals to have dinning etiquette when eating in restaurants. We expect people to dine using the proper utensils. I thought about this example as I was pondering for an observation to perform. I decided that I would take a chance and visit a well respected restaurant in my area and break the norm

Patients who have brain injury from illness or trauma such as stroke usually struggle with everyday tasks that we usually take for granted. When these tasks are recreated within a virtual environment and patients are allowed to apply them at increasing levels of complexity can help speed up recovery and assist the patients in regaining a higher level of their cognitive function.

In chapter eight we learned about social influences and a part I found appealing was the section on the power of social norms, which is the “unspoken but shared rules of conduct in a formal or informal group.” Basically, it means that the social world can impact our lives by peer pressuring us into acting out in a behavior that is out of our character. However, falling into that group norm would be a characteristic of conformity. An example would be someone that is peer pressured into taking drugs, but after time becomes adapted to that behavior and continues to
