Social Breach

When going to Wal-Mart, ordinary shoppers have only one intention: to get in and out as soon as possible. They may stop chatting with friends they see, but they do not do anything different. Through the roaming shopper, I had a network, bug set, and safari device to start the dangerous work of breaking this social norm. The norm I broke in social experiments is an obvious social rule. In other words, do not turn your attention to yourself in a negative way, especially in public places.

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.

Common standards of social groups related to socially acceptable behaviors or appropriate actions in a particular social context have socially affected violations. The strengths of these norms range from loose expectations to rules that are not written. Norms (norms of social roles, etc.) are internalized in socialization. The functionalist emphasizes society, its institutions and social order depend on social norms, but in society, different social groups also have their own norms. Actions conforming to the standards are called normative actions, but even if social norms exist, they can not be prevented from being frequently violated. Ethnographic methodologists and symbolic interactors emphasize normative discussions and Marxists emphasize the role of compulsion rather than normative consensus. For other uses of this term refer to the specification.

Sometimes social norms can destroy themselves. Eating at a fine restaurant was forbidden once, but it was prevalent due to the introduction of various cultural norms. You can still break through the etiquette of the restaurant through experiments. George Carlin from Brain Feces recommends that you ask the waiter if decorations are available and order a lot of decorations. If you want to experiment with this experiment, your waiter's response, your discomfort at the time of order will clarify the tendency you have.
