Are group norms actually needed to have a successful group?

I think that we need to have norms in life in order to have people follow them so they wont think they can do anything.

Are there positives to not following norms? I think there can be a positive if the norms are chaotic and not regular. But if the norms are regular and are normal then no it wouldn’t be a good situation. Because the rules are safe for the whole group.

Are group norms actually needed to have a successful group? -- To me, yes because if you don't have any motives as a group then the whole purpose of it would just be a let down. If everyone in the group cooperates with each other and is behaving then the group can get the job done, having a chaotic group where everyone is off task defeats the purpose of what an actual good group is.

Do norms justify the action?
Yes because norms are basically rules that people follow in a group or in society, so they would have an affect on the actions one takes, and also base what is "wrong" to do based on the norms.

Are group norms always necessary in every group?
I think that some groups don't need specific group norms if the group can function without them. Like friend groups usually don't have specific group norms that everyone follows.

what is a situation where norms won't work?

When the group norms aren't enforced or aren't being complied with, they won't work. Law only works if there is power behind it and compliance from the people.

How strong of an influence can group norms have on someone's life?
I believe that group norms have a very strong ability to impact someones life, especially when someone begins to believe that they are justified in their actions just because it is accepted by their group. Because what happens when they get into legal trouble? That action is able to change the course of the rest of their life (ex jail)

In the article it mentioned that companies over time change a few of the set norms. I wonder if a company has ever tried changing all the norms from the previous generation?

I think that if they ever did try, I think those companies have failed. They may have changed goals. For example, Supercell was going to make videogames that worked on all consoles, but when the touchscreen came out and was growing in use, they decided to completely focus on making games fit for those devices which was a major risk at the time. Taking risks like that allows companies to fail and that's a more focused aspect. If a company tries to create a lot of change quickly, they could fail since people are slow to adjust, proven by this pandemic in my opinion.

Does depending on who is around you change our own norms?

Yes, I believe that yes, because I act differently around others who make questionable choices with their life, and I act differently around others who make better choices with their life. I live by the set of norms around the people who make questionable choices around those kinds of people and I live by the set of norms around the people who make better choices around those kind of people.

Mollie asked, if some norms aren’t discussed but are implied as a social construct, are they still considered a norm? I think the answer is yes it still is a norm because that's what an informal norm is right? Something not discussed but still enforced, so yes they're still considered norms, and I came to know this from reading through the article and understanding the different types of norms.

Why is failure a greater motivator than others when dealing with norms? Is failure the best motivator?

I believe failure works so well because it's a very direct way of communicating to the person who failed they need to improve. People can tell the person who failed they need to improve all day, but it doesn't necessarily mean the person who failed will listen. It's just like the old saying: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

You adjust your behavior based on what the norms of a specific group are. So other groups have influence on our norms.

I believe its because different groups have different levels of standards so in one group, it may be completely wrong to do something and in another group it may be something they can brush under the rug.
