Emile Durkheim; Norms and Values Education System transmits...... Norms: Unwritten and unspoken rules of everyday
life. Children learn these values at a young age Values: Beliefs and moral views tha are deeply
held by most people in society. Values areoften specific to certain cultures. (ie: In the west, getting an education is a commonly shared value).
Status: Position in society. People can have several statuses!
Ascribed Status (age, sex, ethnicity)- Something you cant change
Achieved Status: Change through individual efforts and work (ie becoming a lawyer, a doctor)
For ex: In India, status is ascribed...people cant change their social position through education. In Western Europe, people can change their position through education or work
Activity! Spend 10 mins making a list of
norms you have identified in the UK Make another column and discuss
and decide if you feel there are ‘values’ behind the norms.
