Social Standards as a course explores the norms, values, and expectations that govern human behavior in different societies. It examines how these standards develop, how they vary across cultures, and how they influence individual and group interactions. The course delves into topics such as social etiquette, ethical considerations, cultural traditions, and the impact of societal norms on identity, relationships, and institutions. It also discusses the role of socialization in shaping behaviors, the consequences of deviating from accepted standards, and the ways in which social norms evolve over time due to factors like globalization, technology, and activism. Through case studies, discussions, and critical analysis, students gain a deeper understanding of the implicit and explicit rules that shape social life, as well as the ability to navigate diverse social environments with cultural competence and ethical awareness.
