Reaction to an Exception in the Norm: A Personal Experiment

Norm Specification A is a set of beliefs about how followers should function in a particular environment. [1] Sociologists explain norms as informal perceptions of social performance management, but psychologists use more general classifications, smaller group sectors such as teams and offices also use culture and society Recognizing the perception of beyond. Expected Specifications [2] Criteria contrary to major social or cultural activities can be performed and retained within a small subgroup of society.

In the field of sociology and social psychology, aggressive experiments are attempts to investigate people's response to violations of generally accepted social rules and norms. Violation experiments are mostly related to ethnic methodology, especially Harold Garfinkel's work. For violation experiments, it is necessary to consciously demonstrate violations of "accidental" behavior / social norms, observe the types of social reactions caused by behavioral violations, and to understand the social structure of these social responses It includes analyzing. The idea of ​​researching violations of social norms and corresponding countermeasures extends to the social sciences and is now used in sociology and psychology.

Social norms are rules that society uses to evaluate population and to provide specific behavior under normal conditions. When you compromise social norms, people have different ways to deal with it and how to deal with it. Some reactions may be fun, but some may be terrible, and even more serious. Some people think that it may be necessary to break social norms to help govern or control society. On the other hand, some think that it is not common to impair social norms, and there should be no one who violates these rules. Because there are so many social norms, sometimes it is impossible to break without breaking anything. Many social norms, such as walking on the other side of the sidewalk, talking in front of people, wearing clothes that others think is cool, can be a big norm in today's young society. What if the dyed shirt is normal to someone or a group of people? My first reaction happened to the local Wal-Mart.

In our classroom project, each person is asked to break the norms that exist in our society and record the observer's reactions and experimental results. The standard I chose to break was a normal driving idea - I think that the car should be driven by pushing the accelerator pedal and moving forward rather than behind. The tool necessary for this work is just a car. I woke up around 12:45 pm on Saturday, March 9, 2001. I took a shower and put on my clothes. After doing this, I left the driveway after handing the key to my parent's car. My house is in the middle of my street so I will always drive to the end as usual and drive to the neighbor's driveway. Then I continued walking out of my neighbor's driveway and retreating towards my house. I passed by my house and ran the same way to the end of my street.
