Social norms are an essential part of living in a society; they guide us towards appropriate behaviors. Norms are the social behaviors that are expected and acceptable of a group. When you think of a certain behavior‚ if words such as typical‚ usual‚ or standard apply to it‚ then it is most likely a norm.
