Today well go on with our discussion about “Elements of Culture“. We have talked about the element of langua
41、ge, which is viewed by sociologists as the foundation of every culture. Now lets look at the second element-norms.What are norms? Norms can be defined as the established standards of behaviour maintained by a society. Well, you know, all societies have ways of encouraging and enforcing what they vie
42、w as appropriate behaviour while discouraging and punishing what they consider to be improper conducts. For example, respect for older people is a norm found in China. “Put on some clean clothes for dinner“ is a norm followed in America. Bowing deeply to each other when meeting and saying good-bye t
43、o people is a norm practised in Japan. These are all norms.In order for a norm to become significant, it must be widely shared and understood. For example, when we go to the movies, we typically expect that people will be quiet while the film is showing. Because of this norm, if a member of the audi
44、ence talks loudly, he may be asked to lower his voice. And when we go to school or go to work, we are expected to be punctual. If someone is late, he or she may feel uneasy and should say sorry to others.Now well have a look at the types of norms. Sociologists distinguish norms in two ways. First, n
45、orms can be classified as formal and informal. Formal norms have generally been written down and involve strict rules for punishment of violators. Laws are an example of formal norms, because in a political sense, the law is the body of rules, made by government for society, interpreted by the court
46、s, and backed by the state. Besides, the requirements for a college major and rules of a card game are also formal norms.By contrast, informal norms are generally understood but are not precisely recorded. Standards of proper dress are a common example of informal norms. Our society has no specific
47、punishment or sanction if a student comes to college dressed quite differently from everyone else. The most likely response is that he or she might be made fun of by other students for his or her unusual choice of clothing.Second, norms are also classified by their relative importance to society. When classified this way, they are known as mores and folkways. Mores are norms that are regarded highly necessa
