Answer 1

Question: Examples of social norms include _____. Select all that apply.

Options:

• Anomalies
• Folkways
• Laws
• Standards

Answer: The correct answer is:

• Law
• Standards
• Folkways

Explanation: A social norm is the accepted behavior that an individual is expected to have in a particular group, community, or culture. Norms often serve a useful purpose and create the foundation of correct behaviors. Law is critical to enhancing good social norms and undermining bad ones. Standards that people carry with also contribute to the enhancement of social norms, such as beauty standards, house-role standards, etc. Folkways are standards of behavior that are socially approved but not morally significant and they contribute to social norms.

Answer 2

I do believe the answer is standards, but I could be incorrect. Here is an example: beauty standards among women vary from place to place.
