"A social norm is rarely expressed as a firm rule or official - TopicsExpress



          

"A social norm is rarely expressed as a firm rule or official code. It is a abstract synthesis of the many separate times a community has stated its sentiments on a given kind of issue. (...) Each time the group censures some act of deviation, then, it sharpens the authority of the violate norm and declares again where the boundaries of the group are located." (BECKER, Howard S. Outsiders. 1967: 14)
