Norms are the ways in which commands and expectations are carried out, when someone expresses themselves, they go by the rules that society sets about what is standard. Norms guide our many daily interactions and are what holds society together. They maintain social stability; otherwise anyone can do whatever they want without any consequences. Norms give order and standardize the behavior of a society, as well as constituting its social class, which classifies people based on the property, power and prestige they have. They are extremely important to a culture because people want to fit in and social norms allow this appeal to be realized, therefore, knowing what is socially acceptable will give people a much better chance of thriving socially and communicating ideas. Social norms are "the unplanned and unexpected result of individuals' interactions" (Bicchieri pag. 2, 2011). This means that norms constitute what is considered ordinary in a society based on our daily actions. These norms are the ways in which a culture guides people on how to act in any situation. To understand a culture, you need to recognize how important values ​​are to the entire culture. These values ​​are the basis of norms, which in turn form the foundation of popular habits and customs, and ultimately of laws. When someone is exposed to an unfamiliar culture, culture shock occurs, where a person feels out of place because the norms of the society may be different from the norms of another society. Norms can be different in every society and are constantly changing. People react strongly when someone breaks a norm which usually results in disapproval due to the moral importance and value supported by the norms. Different norms... at the center of the card... the marginalized. No one wants to feel like they're on the outside, and that sense of acceptance gives people a reason to fit in, so they can be included in the crowd and not shunned. When people follow norms, they receive positive sanctions, when deviance occurs, then people receive negative sanctions. This social control encourages people to follow social norms because they want to be rewarded and not punished, and positive and negative sanctions reinforce these desires. “The man who has done his duty finds, in manifestations of all sorts that express the sympathy, esteem or affection that his fellow men have for him, a feeling of comfort” (Durkheim page 242, 1915). In other words, people are not entirely motivated to follow what is normal: people's reactions matter. People will do what others expect of them because it is part of our nature.
