Norms can be simply defined as behaviors, thoughts or values that a majority of people share within the same society.

They differ from rules or laws in the sense that they are not compulsory. They rather define a direction or guidelines that have the social function of making a society work peacefully. Due to them, every one can anticipate how others will behave and think, which makes things easier than chaos or anarchy.

I like to think of norms as the current of a river and individuals as boughs on that river. Most individuals follow the current because it’s easy to, but some of them don’t. No one can say they are forbidden to do so but, by deviating, they may disturb other individuals’ course and are constantly driven back to normality by the current and the other boughs.
