Societal Rules

Societal rules are the written and unwritten rules and how they are applied to shape community conditions. Written rules may be formalized and documented in laws, policies, regulations and budgets. Unwritten rules are made up of worldviews, culture and norms. These can include customs or expectations that guide acceptable thought and behavior without being documented in writing. Institutional practices and systems of governance – such as an organization’s approach to salary parity – may be written or unwritten.
