Examples Of Norm Violations
When I violated the norm, most people tend to feel uncomfortable and start utilizing their cell phone as a way to block it off. You had some people that didn’t even getting on the elevator because they were hesitant to what I was doing. I noticed that most people remained along the side of the elevator since they didn’t want direct eye contact. Most of the older people stayed to the front where I was. I also observed individuals starting to have conversation because I made them feel

    Dixie's Perspective

    The most memorable incident was when I was at government building waiting in line to get in to a specific area to conduct business. Initially, there was a gaggle of people standing outside until someone stood at a specific point that appeared to be a logical entrance to get in. Then people blindly began to form a line behind the individual as they came up. I thought this was funny because I noticed a small sign that was not very visible which gave direction to where the line should form and the current line was the exit not the entrance. I moved over to the entrance where the line should have been and watched without saying anything.…

    Social Norms On Seat Selection At Movie Theaters

    More specifically, how would a person react if a stranger sat in the adjacent seat in a nearly empty movie theater? As a regular movie theater patron I evaluated my own reaction were I put in the proposed situation. If a stranger sat beside me in a theater where there were numerous other seats available, I believe I would get up and move to a different seat. I posed this question to several other people and each replied they would be uncomfortable and relocate to another seat. I decided to break this informal norm and observe whether the affected person reacted as…

    Examples Of Non Conformity

    In our daily life, we have to put up with rules, judgemental people and drama. Most of us stay within those imaginary lines to be okay. We accept the things that people tell us and change in order to fit into society. Although you can not see it, it is common for us to try to fit in. We do it in order to not get bullied or judged. Being a person who follows the idea of conformity can be led to the idea of you being a, “goodie two shoes”. Unlike a non-conformist, they can be more of an out-going person. Although I am against the idea of being a full conformist, I can not say that I do not follow it. In order to stay out of trouble or harms way, it can lead for you to end up following the rules.…

    Social Norm Violations In Today's Society

    In today’s society, social norm violations are what hold American culture, while separating us as distinct individuals. We have unwritten rules of how we are expected to behave in a certain way whether it’s in a public or private gatherings. They can change throughout time “Norms are transmitted through a process of socialization, by which every member of society is subtly trained to appreciate and follow these norms.”(Williams,2011) because of these unwritten rules we have a different minds set as time passes, if we travel a few decades back in time, the way we dress or behave can all be violations. By observing and committing a norm I have realized that the power of society pressures us to behave in a certain matter for…

    Examples Of Inequality

    “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” An act of inequity for some could result in inequality for all, unless citizens of the world do something about it. A current example of inequality for one would be how females are being treated compared to males in a variety of settings. People of color and different races are another example of people receiving unequal treatment. Throughout the world, inequality can be seen through those who are less fortunate than others. Every individual regardless of gender, race, and socioeconomic status deserves the right of freedom and justice.…

    Appropriate Cultural Norms

    Looking at their reaction, I feel as if I am doing something terrible. It feels awkward and it even surprise me that they would have such extreme reaction. I feel embarrassed being the spotlight for something that is inappropriate. However, on the other hand it’s actually an amazing experience since it help me understand that society don’t accept people that break the cultural norms. People tend to favor those that follow social norms because it makes behavior predictable. People often will respond negatively toward any form of deviance because they think that it’s opposing the right way of doing…

    Essay On Breaking A Norm

    Breaking a norm is like an experiment. You are never going to know what the outcome is going to be. A lot of sociologist like to see it as a social experiment, and the reason is because people are living their life what is considered the right way. It’s a mimicry, everyone doing the same thing, following the same rules, avoiding everything that is not considered normal, usual, typical, and even standard. For my social experiment, I decided that my norm violation would be saying “I love you” when ending a conversation. The objective of my experiment was to break a norm that would help me study how people would react to something that is not usually said is being said to them. I knew it would not only make people uncomfortable, but I think this…

    norms

    Given that so many of our daily interactions are based on the adherence to social norms, I clearly had a large variety of choices in violating one. After much thought, I chose a social norm which has always fascinated me: the way in which we greet one another by asking "How are you today?" This innocuous question follow almost immediately after the hello, most often without even a pause to allow for a hello from the other person in reply. Most interesting to me is the social script which is meant to follow in reply, "I'm fine (or perhaps I'm well), how are you?" The original person who asked the question is, of course, expected to respond in kind. This interaction is particularly interesting because it takes place in such a large variety of social settings, most often with strangers or very casual acquaintances, those which we would most likely not want to share any true source of information with, especially information which might put our social status or image in a less than positive light or information which is felt to be personal.…

    For my folkway violation I chose to position myself six inches away from someone during a conversation. I chose to try this particular one because I knew my mom would give me the best, honest reaction. She has always had a small pet peve that was people getting in her personal space. I thought to myself this is the perfect norm violation for me to use. I was able to easily approach my mom at home where she would be completely clueless of the stunt.…

    My Norm Experiment

    For my norm experiment, I chewed with my mouth opened as I sat for dinner with my friends. We went to got eat at a Steakhouse, which I forgot the name of, for my friend’s twentieth birthday. I was a little hesitant at first to perform the task because personally if someone else around me did it, I would be a little disgusted. I however, decided to do it because I couldn’t think of another ‘norm’ experiment to perform. Once I ordered the food and the server came to hand it to us, I thought of a way to perform the experiment to compare the reactions of performing the ‘norm’ normally. I took a first bite and chewed with my mouth closed in the beginning. No one seemed to find it weird, everything was normal and everyone seemed fine. After what…

    Personal Narrative: I Needed To Break A Norm

    Our initial attempt was tremendously nerve wrecking. I agreed to go first. I immediately felt anxious. My heart was racing and hands were shaking. I was terrified to break a norm due to the fact that I presumed people's reaction would be different. I was correct. The first elevator was filled with a young crowd. Three young men and four young ladies entered and automatically faced the direction that is the norm. I ultimately entered last and faced to their direction. A young man questioned the floor number I needed to…

    Do Nothing

    Executing this exercise was extremely difficult for me. Doing absolutely nothing was an effort because I had to constantly remind myself not to check my phone, to stand still, and not to look around. After numerous attempts, I turned off my phone and the mental reminders became less needed and doing the exercise became easier. The first few minutes I didn’t feel anything in particular. I was simply standing, looking straight ahead, and absorbed in my contemplation, but after about five minutes I couldn’t help but notice some people giving me outlandish looks. I tried not to avert my attention to them but even still I could feel their eyes on me. I started feeling really uncomfortable and feeling a sense of judgment and rejection. As if because I was standing there with no evident purpose that I was suddenly displaced from society. I believe the couple of stares I received from passersby and the stares from the people that were watching me for a prolonged amount of time and were witnesses of my unusual behavior were the root of my feelings of social nonacceptance. My odd conduct even seemed to arise suspicion in the officer parked across the street from me. After the ten minutes were up, I looked back and saw the officer examining around the spot I which I stood. On the contrary, others didn’t even seem to notice. They seemed too immersed in their own lives to even take note of my abnormal behavior. However, those that did notice didn’t fail to make me feel as if my behavior was ignominious.…
