Question

Views on why the rules of social conduct and norms of behaviour developed are breaking down

Answer 1

Social norms are the unwritten rules which show how to behave in the social groups.

In social groups, people should perform social roles, i.e., they should know how to behave.

For instance, we can expect the student to be punctual and obedient.

He should respect the teachers.

These social norms define the behavior of social groups.

The doctor and patient roles are one such example.

The behavior of the person may change if they change from one social group to another.
