In tomorrow's Social Order and Change class we are talking about social interaction.
A large part of interaction is social norms, the "usual", "typical", "normal" standards for a group of people. Norms are the unspoken rules we follow to fit in...to try not to make anyone feel uncomfortable.
When I teach social interaction, I end with this video a student told me about last year...
These individuals did not follow social norms in this video and it's a good reminder that sometimes amazing interaction can occur when we go outside our comfort zone.
