Read a random definition: waybill

A quick definition of norm:

A norm is a standard that a group of people follow. It can be a rule for how to behave or a typical way of doing things. For example, saying "please" and "thank you" is a norm for polite behavior. In legal theory, a norm is a law that comes from other laws in a society. All laws must follow a basic norm, which is like a rule for how laws should be made. Think of it like a game with rules that everyone agrees to follow.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A norm is a model or standard that is accepted by society or a large group, against which someone or something is judged. It can be an actual or set standard determined by the typical or most frequent behavior of a group.

Example: An example of a norm is the standard for right or wrong behavior. For instance, it is a norm in most societies that stealing is wrong and punishable by law. Another example is the norm of punctuality, where it is expected that people arrive on time for appointments or meetings.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how norms are standards that are accepted by society or a group. They are used to judge behavior and actions, and those who do not conform to the norms may face consequences. Norms can be explicit or implicit, and they vary across cultures and societies. They are important for maintaining social order and cohesion.
