File name | Norms and Values |
File Description | Norms are rules defining appropriate and inappropriate behavior. A Hindu peasant in India can be found lying dead of starvation beside perfectly healthy cattle. In order to strengthen bonds between clans,a young Basarwa girl in Africa might become engaged to a man she has not met. Values are broad ideas about what most people in a society consider to be desirable. Values are so general that they do not dictate precise ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Thus,different societies or different groups within the same society can have quite different norms based on the same value. |
