Talking to friends, interviews for a job, asking a stranger for directions are just three examples of social interactions among an assortment of other ways. In each interaction with a person, there are some social norms that both parties must abide by not to seem strange or even dangerous. People stay within these social norms for many reasons and these norms can be changed with time. Things that were not acceptable in the past are now encouraged by the majority of the public. The norms of interaction feel natural for those in the community but these norms are actually social constructed.
Using Roland Barthes' Mythologies, Luke J.Chang's and Leonie Koban's "Modeling Emotion and Learning of Norms in Social Interactions" from the Journal of Neuroscience, Jonathan Grose's and Cedric Paternotte's "Social Norms: Repeated Interactions, Punishment, and Context Dependence" from Public Reason, and Patrizio Lo Presti's "Situating Norms and Jointness of Social Interaction" from the Cosmos and History: The Journal of Natural and Social Philosophy, I was able to conduct research on social norms.

Social norms occur everywhere at every moment, and we follow these norms consciously and unconsciously. Saying “bless you” to someone after a sneeze may seem natural for some but this interaction between people is socially constructed. How an individual may act within society will seem strange if it is not within the society’s norm, or a range of that norm. Individuals behavior or molded by each experience that person had as well as their knowledge of what is and is not accepted in that society. The social norms that individuals feel is natural is socially constructed by the individual’s past and what society believes is acceptable.
