Many social norms and expectations are implicit, meaning they are not explicitly written or enforced by laws or regulations, but are understood and followed through socialization and reinforcement by others. As social creatures, humans have an innate desire to be accepted and approved by others, which leads them to conform to these unwritten rules to avoid disapproval, rejection, or conflicts. Therefore, even though people may not always consciously realize it, their behavior is influenced by social norms and expectations.
