    • Does everyone in society agree on shared norms and values?
      • The majority of people have been brought up with these manners so therefore they agree.
    • The difference between norms and values
      • The norms are something that is set for guidelines, for example you know not to kill someone because you will be put in prison. Whereas a value is something that comes from a belief, for example respect from people or to trust someone.
      • Difference is values are something that you have created in your communities. You may value different things compared to other cultures for example the belief to not steal other people property is  value because we have this respect and now it could lead to consequences.
      • Difference between norms is they are guidelines and laws that are seen as normal things to do like waiting in queue and eating with a knife and fork. This is how we have been brought up to act and behave. Norms are something we do as a society, beliefs can be created by the community you are brought up.
