Takeaways

• 😀 Values are individual perspectives on what is considered good or bad, while norms are societal rules and regulations.
• 😀 Norms are more tangible, clear, and enforceable, with specific consequences for violations, unlike values which are more abstract.
• 😀 An example of norms in action is when someone throws trash in public; the proper response is to politely correct them based on societal norms.
• 😀 Values form the foundation for norms in society. Norms are essentially the practical application of these values.
• 😀 Social values can be classified into two categories: internalized values (values that become habits or personality traits) and dominant values (values that are prioritized over others).
• 😀 Internalized values are subconscious and ingrained, such as a student feeling guilty for being late due to a habit of punctuality.
• 😀 Dominant values are those considered more important than others and can vary between different societies, like prioritizing study over play.
• 😀 According to Professor Notonegoro, values are classified into three types: material values (related to physical needs), vital values (important for maintaining life), and spiritual values (related to belief systems).
• 😀 Material values include basic needs like food, water, and sleep, while vital values affect actions that influence life consequences, like completing homework or using an umbrella in the rain.
• 😀 Spiritual values are connected to religious or belief systems, such as performing religious rituals or engaging in activities guided by faith.
• 😀 Social norms can be either written (formal) or unwritten (informal). Formal norms are typically outlined by institutions, while informal norms emerge from societal customs and habits.
• 😀 Norms are created by community agreements and need to be adhered to collectively. Violating norms can lead to sanctions like fines or social disapproval.
• 😀 Social norms are flexible and evolve with time, as seen with the introduction of mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic as a new norm.
• 😀 Social norms are classified into four types: religious norms, moral norms, etiquette norms, and legal norms, each serving different purposes in regulating behavior.

Q & A

What is the difference between values and norms in society?

Values are personal beliefs about what is considered good or bad, while norms are rules or guidelines that dictate behavior in society. Norms are more concrete, with clear consequences for violations, whereas values are more abstract and internalized.

How are norms and values related?

Norms are the practical application of the values held by a society. Values form the foundation for norms, and norms help to enforce those values in real-life situations.

What are 'internalized values' and how do they affect behavior?

'Internalized values' are values that have become a part of a person's character or habits. These values influence behavior unconsciously, meaning the person may follow these values without much thought, such as feeling guilty when they break the rules.

What is a dominant value and how does it differ across societies?

A dominant value is a value that a person or society prioritizes over others. Dominant values may differ from one society to another based on cultural, historical, or personal factors. For example, some may prioritize education over leisure.

What are the classifications of social values according to Professor Notonegoro?

According to Professor Notonegoro, social values are divided into three categories: material values (concerned with physical needs), vital values (concerned with activities essential for life), and spiritual values (concerned with religion and faith).

How do material values differ from vital and spiritual values?

Material values are related to physical needs like food, sleep, and health. Vital values pertain to activities that are crucial for survival or social functioning, such as completing schoolwork. Spiritual values relate to beliefs and practices related to religion or faith.

What are the key characteristics of social norms?

Social norms have several key characteristics: they can be written or unwritten, are formed through social consensus, must be followed by society, come with sanctions for violations, and can change over time.

What is the difference between formal and informal norms?

Formal norms are established by official institutions and are clearly written, such as laws or school rules. Informal norms, on the other hand, are unwritten and evolve through social customs or traditions, like familial expectations or community behaviors.

What are the four sources of social norms?

Social norms come from four sources: religious norms (based on divine teachings), moral norms (based on conscience and ethics), norms of politeness (based on societal expectations of behavior), and legal norms (created and enforced by governmental institutions).

How can norms change over time, and can you give an example?

Norms can evolve in response to changes in society, such as new challenges or beliefs. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, wearing masks became a new social norm, which was previously not a widespread rule.
