ДРУШТВЕНЕ НОРМЕ КАО ОДРАЗ ДРУШТВЕНЕ СТВАРНОСТИ
Social Norms as a Reflection of Social Values

Summary/Abstract: As a positive science, sociology studies the system of social norms active in individual societies, which permeate those societies as a binding tissue, and make their functioning possible. From taboos all the way to international law, the system of norms delineates the borders of the society in which it works. As the community expands, the venue for the norms expands, too – from a tribe to the global society. Simultaneously, norms multiply, new types of norms occur, necessary for the regulation of complex social relations present in modern society. When a society reaches the state of reduced level of complex social relation regulation, we witness the state of anomie or lack of norms in a society, which seriously hinders its functionality. This text deals with the way social norms originate and how they relate to the type and level of social integration. It primarily discusses moral and religious norms and the nature of their social being.
