norm - so if you do not go into very specific terminology, some rule that people are mostly taken as a basis.The very concept can be used very widely - there are standards of energy consumption, linguistic, social, labor standards, and many others.
In this article we will focus in more detail on moral and behavioral models that more than anything else, reflect the level of social development.Moral norms - a certain set of relationships that arise in the process of communicating individuals.This concept reflects the demands of society for each individual.
Do not assume that the norm - this is the limit of perfect model of human relations.On the other hand, is the average amount for which you can define acceptable and unacceptable factors that are generally accepted, though, but still fall short of the ideal.This person may abandon ethical standards, compliance with which is not provided by the local regulations (for example, going topless in some countries will not entail even a fine, in others for the same violation can get quite real prison term, in addition, the offender maybeat the citizens themselves).
quite another matter - mandatory rules.This concept clearly spelled out in the laws of any country.Imperative - a special categorical position, extends to the international community, for the violation of which provides for liability.
norm - this is not a static concept, which developed and defined once and for all.Moral standards are flexible and constantly changing along with the society.For example, still some 200 years ago, a divorce in our country was considered immoral phenomenon caused by moral decay of society, and the product of Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina" most educated people rated as vulgar novel.Now no one is surprised 1-2-3 divorce process behind one person, and "Anna Karenina" was a masterpiece of world literature.
Nowadays the norm - it is more blurred and vague concept that can not but cause frustration.Promiscuity came to be called sexual freedom, wealth - a synonym for success, the destruction of old traditions - Reform sold shoddy texts - literature.But poverty has become synonymous with stupidity, shame and conscience - with idiocy.While extremely difficult to determine what it is - the eternal, but it is a natural conflict of the old and new generation or a more worrying trend.
In general, respondents to surveys, they are still pretty high moral and ethical performance, but they believe that concepts such as friendship, mutual assistance and loyalty have become much weaker.A whole layer of the population, mostly young people up to 24 years, were of the view that the social and moral norms is significantly outdated.
want to believe that the existing standoff will end soon, and humanity has developed new rules - more liberal than 50-100 years ago, but still includes the basic universal principles based on the reasonable satisfaction of their own needs and care for the welfare of society.
