  • Societies are based around norms and values
  • These are a set of rules that everyone within any given society choose to follow
  • Norms= normal behaviour (habitus)
  • Values= your opinion on what is right and wrong
  • If the rules are not followed, some kind of punishment usually follows.
    This could be imprisonment, or expulsion from the society
  • Living in society means to respect others, to have tolerance, solidarity and to follow social norms that have been implicitly or explicitly established
