Document Summary
Therefore, larger societies impose order on people through large-scale institutions . Two ways of maintaining order: all cultures have norms; some also have laws, especially states. Norm: accepted standard for behaviour, usually unwritten-budding in line, Social control and scale of society: systems of social control vary depending on social scale. In small-scale, face-to-face groups, social control is less formal and more likely to be based only on norms. In large-scale societies, norms regulate daily life but so do laws; punishment for violation of laws can be serious including death.

All ages are necessary for functioning of tribes.
