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.

people react to my violating a cultural behavior norm? Specifically‚ I want to know how people will react to me talking to myself while riding the train.
