Social norms is not that other, as certain patterns and rules of behavior that are entrenched in society. This consolidation happened as a result of practical activities, in which there are certain standards and patterns of behavior accepted standard. Social norms define how people should act in certain situations. To some extent they determine what needs to be one or the other person.

Social norms are numerous:
- the norms of morality. One is good and another-bad, one is good and another is evil. Generally, sanctions in this case is a public reprimand, and remorse;
- the rules of etiquette. It is the norms of communication, rules of negotiation and so on. They define how a person should behave in society;
- the rule of law. They are enshrined in laws. Non-compliance leads to sanctions of the state;
- traditions and customs. They were fixed as a result of prolonged repetitions;
- political norms. As the name implies, they regulate political life. These standards are enshrined in international treaties, charters and so on;
and aesthetic standards. Apply to a work of art, human behavior, and so on;
- corporate norms. Regulate relations within any organizations;
- religious norms. Are found in the Scriptures.

Social norms and sanctions

It is essential that every member of society refers to the social norms seriously and fulfilled them without question. First and foremost, this is necessary in order to protect the person and society as a whole. The penalty for failure to comply with social norms – a variety of sanctions that may be in this case very, very specific. We are talking about the agonies of conscience, and the sanctions of the state. All depends on the individual case and on what the social norms were violated.

Social norms and their characteristics

All these rules or otherwise regulate the relations that arise as a result of the implementation of the socio-cultural, political and many other problems faced by government, society and of course individual personality.

Social norms are the regulators that establish very specific and clear framework of conduct for all participants in social relations. Of course, these standards contain the same actions and commands. Social norms distinguishing the fact that no one addressed, but at the same time for everyone. No one can with impunity violate them. A regulating effect in this case intended to achieve a certain state of social relations. This may be used by mechanisms of social coercion.

The more developed a society is, the better developed it social norms. The scope of their actions are always social relations. Social norms are created within the groups and are intended for the same groups.

From the above we can conclude that these rules help to make the interaction as efficient as possible.

Social norms can be characterized by the following:
- they are General in nature, ie it can not only be applied to someone individually.
- they indicate how to behave as a man in order to be useful to society;
- for failure to comply with social norms must follow the sanctions.

Finally I want to note that social norms are not particularly effective when one observes them only in order to avoid any sanctions, but when personally aware of their importance and necessity.
