Document Summary

Sanction (punishment) strength: how strong does society punish people for violating any of these norms. They are more specific to groups and individuals here. Norms govern everyday conduct (mundane = ordinary) routines. They tell us what is permitted/allowed (prescribed) and what is not allowed (proscribed) They vary widely particularly in a modern society that is multicultural (they are more complicated) They refer to some average behaviour of a culture. Modern societies tend to be more accepting of deviance. Norms that stray outside the average, modern societies tend to be more accepting of that than traditional societies (there is more flexibility in modern societies) There is greater opportunity to do your own thing. Sanctions can be informal (done by parents, siblings, friends etc. ) If informal sanctions don t work, the culture has at its disposal formal sanctions (police and courts can impose these) These can be employed in the workplace (ex. getting fired)
