The purpose of this blog is to have one cohesive summary of the findings of the CAS 100C Social Norms Investigation group. Here we will have video logs of experiments we carry out, summaries and comments we wish to make, examples from the media we've found of typical social norms (or of people breaking them), and anything else we find or do that might be relevant. Happy reading!

True Life: I'm Stuck at Home
The first 15 minutes of this clip introduces you to 3 different people still living at home. They are all past the age that society considers "normal" for children to have moved out of the house, most notedly the 31 year old. These people feel the pressures of society, and embarrassed, for violating this social norm by still living at home with their parents.

Do you think that age has changed over the years? What do you think society now considers the "norm" for living on your own?
