VALUES AND NORMS

A. INTRODUCTION
In social life, people are controlled by various rules which are called values and norms. The rules are created to make people’s life orderly. Both values and norms are aimed to prevent human as individuals from behaving arbitrarily, or to get them to respect and appreciate their own rights as well as others. In this discussion n, we will talk about various values and norms which apply in the life of our society.

B. SOCIAL VALUES
1. Definition of social values
Have you ever gone to a place where you see a very beautiful scenery? Or have you ever felt deeply sorry for having done something indecent? If the answer yes, it means you posses a life standard which is often called value.
In everyday life, value is frequently understood as the worth of something, mark of intelligence ,potency, or other features which very important or useful for man kind. Value is also frequently defined as something good, something idealized and regarded as important by the society. According to a sociologist, theodorson, value is an abstract thing that is used as a general guide line and principle of conduct and behaviour. Besides, he states that the bond between an individual or a group and a value is very strong, even emotional. Therefore, a value may be viewed as a principle of conduct and a goal of life itself.
Values emerge because of people’s need for something which is garded as correct, proper, which they can use as a life principle. On closer observation, we will see that values are not expectation but requirements that we have to meet. For example when we sing in our room, we think it’s entertaining, but to others it may be annoying because it disturb their rest. Ti deepen our understanding, let us study the definition of social value proposed by some sociologist below.

a. Kimbal Young states that social values are abstract and sometimes subconsionus assumptions about what is right and what is important.
b. Green says that social values are relative and emotional awarnes of object, ideas, or individuals.
c. Woods asserts that social values are general directions which have existed for a long time, which direct behaviour and satisfaction in everyday live.
d. Koentjaningrat states that social values are concepts or ideas which exist in the minds of most individual members of a society concering things which are considered good and valuable.
e. Robert M.Z. Lawang states that social values are illustration of what is expected, proper, and worthy, which will affect the social behaviour of the people possessing the values.

Social values are abstract. If the attidues and feeling about the social values are seen as system, it is called a system of social values. Besides, according to Kluckhon, a social value develops from five bases as follows.
1. nature of human life. Some people consider life is bad, some others think life is good, but if it is bad people try to make it good.
2. nature of man’s work. For example some people consider that they work to earn a living. Obtain a position, honour, and so on.
3. the nature of relationship between man and the dimensions of space and time. For instance people may be orientated to the past, the present or the future.
4. the nature of relationship between man and the surrounding nature. For example, some people think they have to submit to nature, some want to control it, some others attempt to maintain harmony with nature.
5. the nature of relationship between man and fellow beings. For instance, some orientate themselves vertically, they feel dependent on prominent figures, their superiors or high rank people, and some other orientate themselves horizomtaly they feel dependent on their humans, so they tend to give manual help.

Based on the above description, we can conclude that social values are appreciations given by the society to everything that is good, important, noble, appropriate, and has functional benefit for common life development and beneficience.

2. Types Of Social Norms
according to prof. Dr. Notonagoro, values can be divided into three types as follows.

a. material value, that is any object which is useful for people.
b. Vital value, that is anything which is useful for people in order to live and do activities.
c. Spiritual value, that is anything which is useful for people’s spirit. Spiritual value is further divided into four types as fellows.
1. value of truth which stems from humans mind
2. asethic value which is based on man’s feelings.
3. moral value that stems from man’s will.
4. religius value that is based on religius teachings.

3. Characteristic Of Social Norms
according to D.A. Wila huky, social values have the following characteristic.
a. social values are construct that develop from interactions among members of the society. The values are created socialy, not biological or by brith.
b. Social values are transferred. The values that make up a system of values are transferred from one group to another within a society by means of farious social processes. And from a society and culture to another by means of acculturation, diffusion, and so on.
c. Values are learned. Values are acquired and not inborn. The process of learning and obtaining values begin from childhood through socialization in the family.
d. Values satisfy humans need and take part in efforts to meet social needs. Values which have been agreed upon and accepted socially become a basis of actions and attitudes. For individuals, groups , and the society as a whole. Values also help people to function property. Without a system of values, a society will be chaotic therefore, a system of social values is considered important by a society, especially for maintaining common prosperity and social satisfaction.
e. Values are abstract assumptions in which there is social concensus concerningthe relative values of object in the society. Conceptually social values are abstraction of elements of values object in society.
f. Value tend to interconnect with one another communally in order to form patterns and system of values in the society. If there is no integral harmony of social values, social problem may arise.
g. Systems of social values differ from one culture to another, in accordance with the appraisal of certain activities in the society shown by each culture.
h. Social values always provide choices of the values systems available in accordance with the level of urgency.
i. Each social values gives a dis tinic effect to individuals and the whole of society.
j. Social values may involve emotion or feelings.
k. Social values may affect individual development in the society, either positively or negatively.

4. Functions Of Social Values
according to D.A. Wila Huky , social values have the following general functions.

a. values contribute a set of tools that is ready to determine the social value of individuals and groups. Values allow stratification of the whole society. They help individuals to know his\her position among other individuals in a given circle.
b. The ideal mind and conduct in some societies are directed or constructed by values. This is because members of society are always able to see the best way of thinking and conduct and influences them to a great extend.
c. Values are the last determinter of people to perform their social roles. They create interest and give spirit to people to realize what is expected of their roles for archiving the goals of the society.
d. Values can function as a means of control with a certain pressure and binding force. They encourage, direct, and sometimes press people to do goodness. Values make people to do goodness. Values make people who deviate from them feel torturingly guilty.
e. Values can function as a medium of solidarity among members of a group and society.

C. SOCIAL NORMS
1. Definition of social norms
in social life, values and norms are not easily separable. This is because norms in social life develop from values. While values are still in the form of feelings or ideas, norms are more abstract. So what is a norm?
according to Alvin L. Bertnand, norms are defined as standards of behaviour that exist in all societies. He also states that norms are a part of non material culture, norms present idealized conceptions of behaviour.
Each norm developed in the life of a society acts as a blinder that makes people know what is good to do and what is to be avoided. Norms are developed to keep the society peaceful, secure, and stable. If we break a norm that applies in our society, we will certainly get a punishment. For instance, a student who comes to school late is not allowed to enter a classroom.
Another definition of norms is rules apply in the society which govern people’s behaviour in order to create peacefulness and order. If we look at it more closely, we will see that basically norms consist of two things below.

a. order which oblige all members of society to do them. This is because norms are considered as something good.
b. Prohibitions that oblige all members of society not to perform any conduct which breaks existing norms. The prohibitions aim to prevent people from the bad consequence of their misconduct.

Besides the above two things, there is still another term that is often associated with norms, that is manners. Manners means politieness that accepted in the interaction among individuals. Manners is also sometimes called etiquette.

2. TYPES OF SOCIAL NORMS
We had better classify norms into several types as follows.
A. Based on the sanctions or binding force, norms are divided into the following types.
1) Usage
Usage is a type of norms that is the weakest compared to all other types of norms. This norm is mostly applicable in the interaction among individuals in the society. If an individual breaks this norm, he/she will only receive a very light sanction, such as a ridicule or criticism.
2) Folkways
Folkways are actions which are done repeatedly in the same form.. Folkways develop from repeated conducts and the people approve of and like the conducts. For example, a guest who comes for a visit should knock at the door.
3) Mores
Mores are habits that have developed into norms which govern all conducts. This norm has coercive power to make someone do or not do something. If we break this kind of norm, we will get a punishment in the form of obligation.
4) Customs
Custumary norms are rules of conduct or the customs of doing thing based on cultural traditions. Breaking these norms will result in mockery, slanderous gossips, even isolation by the society.
B. Based on the source social norms are divided into several types as follows.
1) Religious norms
Religious norms are rules of life that come from God. Religious norms are universal in nature, in that they apply to people all over the world provided that the religion professed is the same. For example, it is prohibited to steal lie, and hurt others.
2) Decency Norms
Decency norms are rules of life that are used to differentiate between what is good and what is bad. A breach of these norms is considered wrong or evil, and the offender will be mocked or teased. For example, a chiled that disrespects the parents may be indirectly teased for being indecent.
3) Legal Norms
Legal norms are written laws that are made officially by state institutions in order to govern people’s life in the society, state and government affairs. Breaching these norms will cause the offender to face physical and/or non-physical punishments. For instance, someone who commits a crime will be imprisoned.
4) Customary Norms
Customary norms are rules of conduct or the customs of doing things based on cultural traditions. Breaking these norms will result in mockery, slanderous gossips, even isolation by the society.
5) Norms of Politeness
Politeness norms are rules of conduct that result from social interaction among members of a society and concern with what is considered good, appropriate, and right to govern social life. For example the prohibition to talk rudely. Offending these norms will result in social sanctions, such as isolation, mockery and ridicule.
