Chapter 2: Norms


Norms are expectations of different groups. On an average day, it would not be a social norm to go out in public with paint on your face or body. People would probably look at you weird and you would feel embarrassed. Certain norms are broken for special occasions, like a concert. If you go to a rave, it would not be uncommon to see people with paint on them and in crazy outfits. Depending on the event, certain places would not allow you to enter if you were not proprerly dressed because you are breaking a norm.
