what is the difference between a norm and a law?
93588
Norms are basically the conduct and carriage that society expects from its citizens.  It is under norms that people can peaceably co-exists (i.e., as long as everyone follows the norms, everyone is at peace with everyone else).  Laws, on the other hand, are the official requirements of a society, the violation of which generally results in loss of liberty or property (or occasionally life).

Laws are social requirements the violation of which can result in the loss of life, liberty, or property.  They are, generally speaking, written by state and/or federal legislators and are signed into effect by the chief executive of the state or the country (the governor or the president, respectively, in the United States). \nEthics are rules and guidelines for conduct that are either explicitly or implicitly agreed upon in advance of potentially violative conduct.  They can be common to members of a particular profession, a religion, or a social organization.  They can be informal or they could be written into a code.  The penalties for violating ethical guidelines (i.e., engaging in unethical conduct) can range from suspension or expulsion from the profession in which one works or is licensed, removal from one's social organization, or expulsion from one's religious group.

The only difference is how the law treats them.\n\nSome offenses are illegal and stupid. Some are just stupid.

Statutory and common laws are basically based on the same principles of what is good and bad.  The parliament and the judges always consider the public opinion in making laws.  What the majority thinks is the basic element in making a law.

Wouldn't moral law just be doing what you think is right? For example, don't murder, don't steal, don't rape are some pretty basic moral laws. \nAlso "Laws are rules or STATUTES" not statues. Moral law would be statute law likely so you might search the web for statute law. You definitely won't find much about statue law that's relevent.

Trait but you could also call it a characteristic.\n\nMutation is where something changes from the norm.

A law that "everyone" knows is the law, but it is not a law enacted by a legislative body. It will be enforced, often by social means rather than legal means.

Intrinsic proof is proof that is inherent in the object.  Extrinsic proof is an external value applied to an object.\n\nExample: Justice is considered intrinsically good because it's inherent property is morally right.  The rule of law, on the other hand, is extrensically good if it promotes justice and extrensically bad if it denies justice.  The rule of law itself is a neutral object that is affected by the value assigned to it.

The First Law is of Identity, where a statistical distribution is assumed.  The Second and Third Laws are both statistical in nature and their expression in mathematical form is beyond the scope of this format.  The following site below should help, and the last one includes several problems which are good examples of the math behind the Laws.

well society has defined the "norms" ..that is the behaviour accepted by the general public within that society, this can differ depending on which part of the world/country you are in at the moment-different things are accepted in different areas, as normal. On a personal level "normal" behaviour can be defined as that which does not cause alarm, offence or danger to any other person. Although of course individuals may be alarmed, shocked or distressed by many many things, so it is a difficult question to answer. I once saw in a public bathroom, scrawled on the wall..." Do not adjust your attitude, its reality that needs a shake!!" lol

Parliaments pass laws.  They are called legislation.  \n\nThen government regulators have to enforce the law.  They look at the law and work out the nitty-gritty details that need to be followed in order for the law to be followed.  \n\nSo for example, a state might might legislate that restaurant kitchens need to be in a hygenic state.  The health inspection department might then develop regulations that state, for example, restaurant kitchens need to x type exhaust fans or no broken tiles or no ajoining toilet.

European law is codified - and very different to UK and commonwealth law, which is based on the common law system - ie it has laws and regulations, but laws are also based on case precedent.  European law is strictly set out in laws - and much was done by Napoleon in early 19th century france in terms of setting out and developing these laws. These were essentially based on Roman law. Because the Napoleonic empire covered most of what is now the EU, its effect was huge.

Which law?\n\nWell, you have a layering of laws... local laws and ordinances then state laws and finally federal law. Outside of this, there is a whole grab bag of family laws, the Uniformed Code of Military Justice laws, business laws... etc.\n\nAs a whole, the answer would have to be that they are subjective unto their individual subjects to varying degrees.\n\nJust a single example though, I would say that certain traffic laws are very subjective because they weren't written with the public safety in mind... but at the behest of the insurance industry.

A theory is used to DESCRIBE natural phenomenon. No matter how many times a theory corroborates a natural phenomenon it can not be come a law on its own.\n\nA law is used to PREDICT natural phenomenon. A law is developed from quantitaively measuring the phenomenon.\n\nThat is why there is both a theory and a law of gravity. The theory tries to explain why matter attracts other matter, the law describes the observable affects of gravity.
