Norms are unwritten rules that the culture of a society goes by, like shoes going on one's feet or walking forward. Two types of norms are folkways, which are standard customs that are socially approved , but not morally significant and mores, or norms of morality.
Below shows what happens when a folkway is disrupted and when a more is not followed.
The first video is a girl riding a shopping cart in a store. Now while this isn't against the law, it's still not normal.
SHOPPING
The next video shows an immoral disruption, flatulence.
A GAS
When the girl was riding the shopping cart, one could say it wasn't serious. But when someone passed gas in the other video during the meeting, it caused more a more comical reaction.
What you have said is true. Folkway or casual social controls will always exist in society. But deviation from social norms can tell you alot about a person.Being different doesn't always hurt.
ReplyDeletesecond video was hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWho created norm and who can and can't say what the norm is everyone has a reailty of their own
ReplyDeleteFunny stuff! That is so true though. Riding on a shopping cart isn't that serious, but it is looked at because it is not "normal". When people do things that aren't routine, people get thrown off. People tend to notice when something is different, but when it is routine, it's just part of the social norm, and the everyday life. Great videos!
