Norms are guidelines or standards of behavior that are considered acceptable or expected within a society or group. There are two main categories of norms: social norms, which are expectations for behavior in a specific community or culture, and personal norms, which are rules individuals set for themselves. Examples of social norms include making eye contact, flushing toilets, and dressing appropriately for the environment. Norms are perpetuated through their alignment with socially acceptable values and their role in structuring social relations. Values are beliefs about what is morally right or good that guide people's behaviors and interactions. Common values include honesty, fairness, and compassion. Norms both reflect and help enforce widely held values in a society.
