Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that cultural norms are shared rules or guidelines within a society that influence how individuals behave and interact.
Recognize that these norms do not prevent changes in societal values; rather, they can evolve over time as the culture changes.
Acknowledge that cultural norms do not eliminate individual differences; people within a culture can still behave differently based on personality, experiences, and context.
Note that cultural norms primarily function to shape what is considered proper or acceptable behavior within a society, guiding social expectations and interactions.
Understand that cultural norms vary across societies, so they do not ensure identical standards of behavior universally.
