Social norms and what it means-

Social norms are important determinants of health-related behavior and feature in many
prominent psychological theoretical models of health behavior . Social norms are usually
defined as “rules and standards understood by members of a group that guide or constrain
social behavior without the enforcement of law and are often defined as: It refers to
perceptions of social norms. Pressure to engage or not engage in certain behaviors (. Social
norms tend to operate implicitly, using individual perceptions of normative behaviors to
guide behavioral patterns and intentions, but are based on direct and explicit communication
between group members. Possibly. Although social norms can be conceptualised in different
ways , the role of perceived normative behaviours and peer attitudes has emerged as an
important predictor of health behavior. increase. There is also evidence that individuals are
poor at assessing the actual norms of behaviour and attitudes of peers and related social
groups. An important consequence of such misunderstanding of social norms, or "normative
misunderstanding," is potential engagement in unhealthy behavior due to the erroneous belief
that such behaviour is common in peer groups . Evidence that individuals often misinterpret
peer engagement in a variety of health-related positive and negative behaviours has led to the
development of the social normative approach (SNA) as a behaviour modification strategy.

Social values and what it interprets

Social value is about understanding the relative importance that people place on changes to
their wellbeing and using the insights we gain from this understanding to make better
decisions. By taking this relative importance into account we can ensure that the decisions we
make focus on what is valuable to people, and through this we can start to increase the
positive and reduce the negatives effects and ultimately increase the overall value of our
work.
The Principles of Social Value guide how we do this – and this is perhaps what is most
powerful about the ideas of social value. Embedded within The Principles is the commitment
that when applied, they serve to amplify the voice of the stakeholders affected by decisions,
by ensuring that stakeholders can inform us about the changes they have, or will, experience
as a result of what we do, and how important these different changes are to them.
By asking those people affected how important the changes they experience are, we can
understand the social value that our activities create, or destroy, for people. This means you
can work meaningfully with stakeholders to ensure their voices are heard and empowered to
influence decisions that affect their lives. It also helps decision makers better understand
where to focus resources to create more value.

Social morals judgments here what it entails.

Social morality is based on the idea that there is no ultimate standard of good or evil, so every
judgement about right and wrong is a product of society. Therefore, any opinion on morality
or ethics is subject to the cultural perspective of each person. Ultimately, this means that no
moral or ethical system can be considered the “best,” or “worst,” and no particular moral or
ethical position can actually be considered “right” or “wrong.”

The contradiction of cultural relativism becomes immediately apparent. A society that

embraces the notion that there is no ultimate “right” or “wrong” loses the ability to make any
judgments at all. The way in which relativism, including cultural relativism, has permeated
modern society is demonstrated in the bizarre ways in which we try to deal with this
contradiction. “Tolerance” has mutated to imply unconditional support and agreement for all
opinions or lifestyles. However, those who choose to be “intolerant” are not to be supported
or agreed with. Tolerance, therefore, becomes an “ultimate good” in and of itself, which is
contradictory to the entire idea of relativism. In the same way, heinous crimes such as rape
and murder demand a moral judgment - but strict cultural relativism cannot say that such
things are always wrong.

Relativism in general breaks down when examined from a purely logical perspective. The
basic premise is that “truth is relative.” If every truth statement is valid, then the statement
“some truths are absolute” must be valid. The statement “there are no absolute truths” is
accurate, according to relativism - but it is an absolute truth itself. These contradict the very
concept of relativism, meaning that absolute relativism is self-contradictory and impossible.
