A cultural norm are acceptable expectations that are set and passed down in a group/family or society
It is the “normal” as defined by a group
Deviation or disobedience of the norm = isolation or sanction (punishment)

Why?
Marriage customs (when traditional and Canadian customs mix)
The Why and the How

We are taught acceptable behaviour depending on being a boy or a girl
Or biological parts determine in some cultures and societies how we will be treated and unfortunately defines our destiny 
Women as burdens/Men = economic gain
