Question
Normative behavior
Identify a norm in our society or American culture. What is normative behavior (folkways, mores, and taboos) and how might culture influence norms? What might the reactions be of our society if you violate a norm? Would you consider this behavior to be inappropriate in all societies? Why or why not?
Your discussion should include culture and normative behavior. Provide a brief summary of the three views most widely used by sociologists:
* Functionalist View
* Conflict View
* Interactionist View
