High/Middle School Social Studies Course: Sociology Grade Level: 9-12th Topic: Norms and Values Big Idea: Students will gain an understanding of what norms and values are. They will also gain an understanding of the different types of norms and an understanding of how society sanctions norms. This lesson will then allow them to do an activity, which will show their understanding of the difference between norms and values. Instructional Objective(s):

• Students will be able to interpret the difference between a value, a norm, and a sanction, which they will demonstrate through an activity.

• Students will be able to identify the different types of norms. • Students will gain an understanding of how society enforces norms through sanctions.

NCSS Theme(s): Culture and Individual Development and Identity Florida Sunshine State Standard(s): SS.912.S.4.5 Analyze what can occur when the rules of behavior are broken and analyze the possible consequences for unacceptable behavior.

Today will be learning about norms and values. What are Norms? Norms are rules that define appropriate and inappropriate behavior. * An example of a norm in a classroom would be raising your hand in order to be called on. William Graham Sumner wrote that anything can be considered appropriate when norms approve of it. Once norms are learned society uses them to guide their Social Behavior. * Norms are also what cultures use to define what they believe is beautiful. Are we aware when we are following norms?

Norms are actually so ingrained in us that they guide our behavior without our awareness. Also we may not be consciously aware of a norm until it is broken.

* An example of this would be when you are driving the norm is for everyone to drive in your lane. However if we see someone pass us in a car on the sidewalk next to us this would violate a norm.

Norms range from

relatively minor rules to laws. What is an example of a minor rule?

Standing in line to order food at a fast food restaurant.

What is an example of a law?

Not stealing. * The Example about the car on the sidewalk would also be an example of violating a law. Types of Norms: Folkways: Rules that cover customary ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving but lack moral overtones. Mores: Mores are norms of great moral significance. Taboo (a type of More): Is a norm so strong that its violation demands punishment by the group. Laws: Laws are norms that are formally defined and enforced by officials. * What is an example of one of these? An example of a law would be wearing your seatbelt, not drinking and driving, not murdering anyone, not stealing. An example of a Taboo would be in India followers of Hinduism have a Taboo that forbids the killing of Cows. Another Taboo would be incest.

An example of a more would be that some people in the United States believe that all able bodied men should work. An example of a folkway would be sleeping on a bed instead of on the floor. Sanctions are rewards and punishments used to encourage conformity to norms. Informal Sanction Rewards of punishments that can be applied by most members of the group. Formal Sanction Sanctions imposed by persons given special authority. * Would a judge sentencing you to time in Prison be an example of an informal sanction or a formal sanction? Formal * Would a friend scolding you for wearing your hair in a ponytail twice in one week be an example of an informal sanction or a formal sanction? Informal * Is being given an A by your teacher an example of a formal or informal sanction? Formal This is an image from page 86 in your textbook. This image shows an example of silly laws

from various states in our country. Not all mores became law just like not all laws started out as mores. Laws often tend to stay on the books for a long time after the mores of a society has changed. Values are broad ideas about what most people in a society consider to be desirable. Different societies or different groups within the same society can have different norms based on the same value. Values form the basis for norms. They are also important because they are involved in most aspects of daily life. What is something that you value? An example of a value would be freedom. Basic Values in the United States: What are some examples of

values we hold in the United States? Here are two examples from your textbook: Democracy: All Citizens are entitled to equal rights and equal opportunity under the law. Activity and work: People tend to prefer action over inaction. You can find more examples on page 90 of your textbook. The Political Cartoon above shows Calvin’s viewpoint on teamwork, What is your viewpoint? This is the end of the lecture. Does anyone have any questions before we move on to our activity for today?

Corners Activity

Okay everyone! Next we will be doing an activity. This activity will allow you to demonstrate what you know the difference between a norm, a value and a sanction. * Norms, Values, and Sanctions are all related so this activity will help ensure that we all know the differences between them.

Estimated Time 15-25 minutes.

For this activity I have divided the room into three corners. Side of the room by the window: Norm Back wall: Sanction Front of Room: Unsure I will read a statement and then you will go to the portion of the room that matches up with what you think the statement is. So for example if I were to say “Stealing” that would be an example of breaking a norm so you would go to the Norm area of the room. Once you pick a side to be at I may call on a student to provide why it is an example of that. Since there is a chance a lot of students if not the whole class will be at the same corner you do not need to be touching the wall just on the correct side of the room. Next using Handout 1 I will say statements and then the students will have to go to the corner of the room that corresponds with the statement. I will then keep track on the Handout how many students go to each side of the room. I may also call on students after each statement and ask them why they choose that side of the room. After this activity we will

debrief. Closure Estimated Time 3-5 minutes

At the end of class I will ask students if they have any questions regarding the activity we did today and what we learned today. If no one asks a question I will then ask the students the following: What is one thing you really liked out of what we learned today? Was there anything you did not know? Is there anything you would like to learn more about?

N/A

Assessment The students will be assessed informally through the Corners Activity. This will show if students have a grasp of on what the differences between Norms, Values, and Sanctions are.
