Document Summary
We live in a world with tension between material and non-material: ex. Surrogacy is illegal in canada, but accepted in the us. What we need to survive in our social environment. We walk around with a toolbox of scripts, rules and costumes we need not only to survive, but to thrive. We need to make sure everyone"s on the same page: contradictions: real vs ideal. Real: in practice, people don"t elect the green party and don"t like green technology like wind energy. Norms: rules of behaviour (folkways; mores; taboo) Criminal code of canada to don"t pick your nose . This why little kids are so tired and sleep for long periods of time they"re getting this toolbox i sit here, i raise my hand to talk, etc. The gold star system isn"t always about being good but about being compliant. Girls tend to be compliant more than boys.
