    Norm Violation A social rule is something that is often taken for granted and seldom discussed at great length. And‚ although we call it a rule‚ is not even really that. It’s more of a generally accepted standard for interactions. A social rule does not even have to span all of society but can instead be limited to smaller communities. One thing that many of these “rules” have in common is the reaction to them when they are broken. Many peoples’ whole days have been made‚ or broken‚ by others’

    Breaking the Norm Project For my breaking the norm project I did a quite simple‚ yet effective action that definitely broke the norm of a regular society. Before I carried out my experiment I made some predictions as to the potential outcomes of what I was going to perform.

Of course‚ there are times when we overstep the line and find ourselves believing another is exactly like us‚ instead of respecting their individuality. Though it’s innately human nature to want to make marks
