The word behave means: "Conduct one's self according to accepted social or group norms". A big problem is ...... what happens when our personal norms differ from society's? Whose social norms should we accept? Who decides which values are important?

Everyday society questions accepted norms. Should society accept homosexual marriages? What role should women play in leadership? Is post-partum depression real or an excuse? Is Black Lives Matter necessary? Should transgender citizens be recognized? The world is constantly changing and many social norms are being challenged.

Social norms are communicated by what people do, say, or convey. Social norms regulate how people communicate in public. Recently, social norms have been challenged by politicians and public figures. Politicians have challenged norms by calling citizens “traitors” or “phoney” and labeling media as “fake news”. Public figures openly labeled mothers as welfare recipients and migrants as “criminals”, “invaders” or “mobs”.

Everyday communities are identified with offensive labels that are shocking and discriminatory. In today’s challenging world, addressing social norms requires a strong commitment.
