When something is a standard of proper or acceptable behavior, it is known as a <u>Norm</u>.
<h3>What is a norm?</h3>
A norm is a standard of behavior that is deemed acceptable by a certain society.
Norms are mostly unspoken but are passed around via word of mouth to the various people in the society from a young age. This way everyone in that society knows what is acceptable and what isn't.
