Social norm

Okay.

We also should note that certain types of emotion involve very much social standards.

And three that we could talk about that are very much dependent upon the social standards and the cultural standards are pride, shame, and guilt.

So, These self-conscious emotions involve evaluating ourselves in relation to some standards.

Pride can arise when an accomplishment meets a value standard.

Right.

Through a process he calls norm licensing.

Norm licensing.

How does that work?

It's a really fascinating sociological mechanism.

And so from their perspective, they experience normal human society as extremely oppressive.

because there are all of these social rules and norms that are totally incomprehensible to them, especially psychopaths.

So psychopaths are kind of like the prototype, the most extreme example.

Psychopaths do not understand why we have laws against murder and rape and destroying other people and conning other people and stealing.

Let's hear it.

When an adaptation fundamentally alters the economic constraints, the social rules, the physical landscape, and the core moral flaws of the original characters, all specifically to appeal to modern sensibilities and modern comforts, At what point does it stop being an adaptation of Jane Austen and simply become an entirely new story that just happens to be wearing Austen's clothes?

Oh, man.

It brings us right back to the beginning, doesn't it?

While on YouTube, you can find a playlist for each.

S3, the social rules we stopped following as a couple; S2, finding the one when you're not everyone's type; and S1, traveling as a couple, dream verse reality.

Another adventure wrapped up.

But the journey never ends.

We have an incredible message for you today, so let's join in.

Hey, we're in a, a new series called Cultural Norms, and this is, uh, this is an interesting series.

I've been waiting for this series to come along because, uh, w- we're, we're examining familiar ideas, familiar concepts, familiar expressions, if you will, that, uh, that have been shaping our beliefs with, uh, without us maybe taking the time to acknowledge or admit or even investigate do they agree and find alignment with our faith in Jesus.

We're taking, we're taking topics over the n- course of the next three weeks, uh, uh, and we're gonna be returning to the same passage, 1 Corinthians Chapter 10, and we're gonna be looking at 14 through 22.

They take parts and pieces of something and then really build around that.

But doing that, I think we have to watch out for, and maybe this is the red flag part, where we, we corrode or corrupt something as to be both unrecognizable to its standard Norm.

I mean, that's why people, you come out of these kinds of groups and you're talking about integrity with somebody at your new workplace, and they- they're going like, "What?" And you're s- you know, you can't, you can't function well outside of that lexicon with those models or definitions.

That's-- Well, it's, it's just this little twisted up thing that's sitting in the middle of it.

Ugh.

Um, technology and social rules.

Self-checkout is better than waiting for a cashier.

Mm.

In Vietnam, Singapore, and Canada, outbreaks of SARS were linked to travelers flying back from abroad.

Then there are the social norms that influence our everyday behavior and our chances of getting infected.

For example, gender roles have often shaped how outbreaks of Ebola hemorrhagic fever first emerge and then spread.

In some countries, work undertaken outside of the house involving close contact with nature is more often done by men, while caregiving is more often performed by women.
