Assignment Task:
During this week, we are examining why most people tend to conform in most of their social interactions, while others deviate from the existing social norms. After you have read the textbook and lectures assigned for this week, please respond to the following question:
In your everyday life, you conform to hundreds of norms, rules, and laws, often without your conscious awareness that you are doing so. Identify some norms, rules, and laws that you believe impact your life. What are some of the biological, social, and environmental factors that reinforce these norms, rules, and laws?
What are some behaviors that were previously considered deviant that may have been normalized through social change?
