2 Emile Durkheim; Norms and Values  Education System transmits......  Norms: Unwritten and unspoken rules of everyday life. Children learn these values at a young age  Values: Beliefs and moral views tha are deeply held by most people in society. Values areoften specific to certain cultures. (ie: In the west, getting an education is a commonly shared value).  Status: Position in society. People can have several statuses!  Ascribed Status (age, sex, ethnicity)- Something you cant change  Achieved Status: Change through individual efforts and work (ie becoming a lawyer, a doctor)  For ex: In India, status is ascribed...people cant change their social position through education. In Western Europe, people can change their position through education or work

3 Activity!  Spend 10 mins making a list of norms you have identified in the UK  Make another column and discuss and decide if you feel there are ‘values’ behind the norms.  For example:  Norm: Not talking when someone else talks  Value: Respect other peoples right to an opinion, to freedom of speech. 
