Activity 1:
Identify any one Proscriptive Norm and one Prescriptive Norm that is in practice in our society and also justify why the mentioned norm is Proscriptive or Prescriptive.
Answer:
Proscriptive norm that is practice in our society:
Is “Quarrelling aloud or raising voices indoor and outdoor “....
Justification: Why the above mentioned norm is Proscriptive? Because it is most observable proscriptive norm that is practicing in our society and can be done by everyone whether man or woman older or younger, but I also observe that whenever someone start quarrelling in streets, people gathered at the spot and try to stop them and want to help them in solving their problem. The same situation happens in houses....
So quarrelling aloud seems a proscriptive norm in our society.
Prescriptive norm that is practice in our society:
Is “Shaking hands when meeting someone”....
Justification: Why the mentioned norm is Prescriptive? When we warmly meet someone and shake hands, this actionleaves a good impression on other. Here in Pakistan shaking hands is a common habit among people. I saw many people, when they meet with someone they shakes hand, man shake hand with man and woman with woman.It is our cultural norm. So it’s clear that it is a good prescriptive norm practicing in our society.
Activity 2:
Identify any four behavioral patterns from your personal life that are learnt from nurture. Also explain the role of parents in development of these behavioral patterns.
Answer:
- From isolation to integration:
By nature I was silent girl, I like to lived alone and spent my time in isolation, as I grew up and joined the school and made friends, I felt that my behavior got change and my parents also observed this changing, it is good for both me and my family. My parents played a great role regarding my behavior,encouraged me in every moment and motivated to make friends, to take participation in physical activities games, speeches, college shows etc...
- I like cleanliness:
The credit of developing this habit is especially goes to my parents and then to my own nature because parents polished this habit in me and taught me all methods of cleanliness that how to clean the home stuffs and how to keep care of these stuff and myself too. Hence, my parents like it too and expect it from me to keep cleanliness not only for my home, or myself but also for those places where I go or take a stay....so because of this nature my teacher regards me and appreciate me in keeping my books, copies etc.. Clean.
- I don’t like aggressive behavior:
My parents usually don’t allow me to shout or talk loudly, to behave rudely, to speak lies etc. Although our environment has surrounded by unethical activities like some teachers with different attitudes, children may adopt these attitudes but continues nurturing of parents plays a vital role.
- I am close to religion:
My parents nurture me in a way by giving me a right path of living and teaching me a Islamic rules of living and the great opportunity that my parents gave to me is to join the religious classes where I learnt a lot of things and about Islam and Islamic teachings
