All people are unique.These differences are due to several factors, most significant among them - ethnicity, nationality, appearance, character, thought, philosophy, goals, habits, interests, etc.Even among semimilliardnogo the world's population will not find two identical people.

Social norms: general concepts
norms of human behavior in society - a rather multifaceted concept that reflects the personality forms of interaction with the surrounding world.
Man as a social unit should be guided by the rules and practices established in a given society.For each situation has its own set of rules, which, however, are not fixed.Thus, the actions that are acceptable in one society is categorically unacceptable in another.On the other hand - social norms of individual behavior can change depending on the situation and time.
For example, imagine that you are met with old friends, who was friends with for many years.You can afford to hold free, wear what you think is necessary, do not hesitate to expressions containing profanity, cheeky gestures and bad habits.Friends used to you and perceive your actions as normal.Now imagine that you have come to work in a large corporation and plan to achieve considerable career success here.Your image, actions and gestures in this situation will be radically different from the previous situation: the appearance corresponds to the dress code, it becomes a business color, bad habits most veiled.But after a year or two, you go with your employees on a long-planned corporate party.In this situation, you can afford to show a piece of his real "I".After all, despite the fact that the composition of society is not changed, the situation has changed, and too restrained behavior may be perceived by others as mistrust or hostility on your part.
