Most of the time we follow cultural norms without even thinking about them. For this discussion, you should identify a prevalent social norm (such as facing forward in an elevator, not interrupting, sitting facing forward in a classroom) and then violate that norm, noticing the reaction of those around you. (Note: do not break any laws or endanger yourself or others.) In developing your initial discussion post, consider the following questions:
What norm did you break?
How did people react to this norm violation?
How did their response make you feel?
Do you feel this norm is important to society?
Based on your experience, what role do you think norms have in our everyday life?
