Legal, social and religious norms
Legal norms are practically laws that everyone needs to respect and take care of them, for example you can´t steal something from a store, if you do you get a punishment like being arrested. Some popular norms or the most comon are do not steal, do not fight, do not scream to a police officer, respect red lights, go to shcool etc. Maybe you think going to school is not obligatory at all, but there are countries where if kids do not go to school parents are called to visit a judge to see what tehir kids are not going to school.
Social norms are basically education, with this norms you can not be punished by the law, but are common sense in our daily life. For example when you go to eat, no matter where, while you are eating you are supposed to close your mouth when chewing,to be respectfull to other people while they are eating. Other examples can be be polite, do not talk back, do not scream at people, say hello when you see someone, say thanks when someone helps you etc.
Religious norms are the ones that in each religion, depending in what they believe, there are different rules that they need to follow, these rules are not punished by the law, but can be seen as wrong around people that have the same religion as you. Also people from other religions may see something wrong in your reliegion, but they can not punish you for that. Like muslims they are supposed to be al covered up. In each religion there is a different rule that needs to be follow.
Our society would not work if there were not this three norms, that is how we live in peace. Without punishments for criminals our streets would be filled with people with bad intentions, without being educated there would be a lot of conflicts in our daily life, and without different rules in our religions it would not be a world full of different religions.
