consensus and interaction is not possible without this consensus. The consensus is part
of what holds society together and is made up of the norms for behavior that people
carry around with them. It is assumed that people in a society share the same norms
and expectations for behavior and so by breaking these norms, we can study more
about that society and how they react to broken normal social behavior.
Ethnomethodologists argue that you cannot simply ask a person what norms he or she
uses because most people are not able to articulate or describe them. People are
generally not wholly conscious of what norms they use and so ethnomethodology is
designed to uncover these norms and behaviors.
