Norms, Conformity and Cohesiveness Relationships between group members are greatly dependent on the norms, conformity and cohesiveness within the group. These also influence how tasks are performed and the effectiveness of the group. Norms- A standard or pattern of behaviour that is considered normal in a particular society. Norms are implicit, specific rules, shared by a group of individuals, that guide their interactions with others. Norms dictate the actions of group members. Groups tend to benefit from having mutually acceptable norms as they bring regularity and control to relationships. All groups have norms, set informally or formally. Examples of norms going to school, being respectful, using manners, taking turns in class, sticking to the left on an escalator and make sure not to listen whilst others are talking. Conformity- is the act of matching attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours to group norms. When an individual joins a group they may feel the need to change to “fit in”. Failure to do so may result in rejection or isolation. In order to remain in a group, a member must conform to group norms. Blindly following orders might be negative but it is also has a positive impact on individuals’ wellbeing.

The family has a variety of functions to perform in order to satisfy members' needs. These include physical, economic, emotional, social, cultural, moral and adaptive functions. Communities are characterised by individuals becoming involved in a variety of groups in order to achieve common goals and gain a sense of identity. Community groups form due to geographic reasons, shared interests or other reasons. Community is organised on local, state, national and global levels. At each level members of the community undertake roles, have influence and make decisions. Communities undergo change as a result of work and employment patterns, trauma or crisis, or demographics. The impacts of such changes can be positive and negative. Decision-making in groups is a process that may involve arbitration, consensus, election or voting, or referendum. Individuals and groups play a role in influencing decisions by means of legislation, environmental pressures, lobbying or protesting. Families undergo many changes, including internal and external, planned and unplanned, temporary and permanent, and all these impacts roles within the family. Formal and informal support networks are available to families within the community. Individuals pass through stages of the lifespan: pregnancy, infancy, childhood, adolescence, young and middle adulthood and old age. At each stage, various physical, intellectual, emotional, social, cultural and spiritual needs will be significant. Socialisation involves learning the accepted behaviours of society so as to be an effective and productive member of that society. It occurs through primary and secondary groups....
