Relationship of Social Norms and Values<\/strong> \u200b\u200b– All human actions and attitudes in everyday life are limited by social norms and values. The goal is simple so that the order of human life runs peacefully and minimizes conflict. Usually, social norms and values \u200b\u200bhave been taught since humans were born.<\/p>\n

Social norms and values \u200b\u200bwill differ in each region. However, there are some things that are the same, for example adab respect and be polite to parents. Then, is there a difference between social norms and values? What is the relationship between social norms and values? The following will discuss the relationship of social norms and values \u200b\u200bin more detail which has been summarized from various pages on the internet,<\/p>\n

Definition of Social Value<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), value is defined as price (in the sense of estimated price); price of money (compared to the price of other money), intelligence numbers; seed; more or less content; rate; quality; characteristics (things) that are important or useful for humanity; something that perfects man according to his essence.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, according to Steeman, value is something that gives meaning to life, which provides a reference, point of departure and purpose of life. Value is something that is upheld, which can color and animate one’s actions. Values \u200b\u200bare not only seen as mere beliefs, values \u200b\u200balways involve mindsets and actions, so that there is a very close relationship between values \u200b\u200band ethics.<\/p>\n

In line with Steeman, Rokeach also defines value as a deep belief about actions, actions or behavior that are considered bad. Meanwhile, according to Linda and Richard Eyre, values \u200b\u200bare standards of behavior and attitudes that determine who we are, how we live and how we treat others. Of course good values \u200b\u200bcan make people better, live better and treat others better.<\/p>\n

Tyler also defines value as an object, activity or idea expressed by individuals who control education in directing interests, attitudes and satisfaction. It is further explained that since humans have learned to value an object, activity and idea, this object becomes an important regulator of interest, attitude and satisfaction. Therefore, schools must help students find and strengthen meaningful and significant values \u200b\u200bfor students in obtaining personal happiness and making positive contributions to society.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, social in the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), social is defined as relating to society; likes to pay attention to the public interest (like to help, donate, and so on).<\/p>\n

Social values \u200b\u200bthemselves can be interpreted as values \u200b\u200bheld by a society regarding what is considered good and what is considered bad by society. Social values \u200b\u200bare the result of a collective agreement that has been recognized and adhered to by a community group.<\/p>\n

Although social values \u200b\u200bare not written down and tend to be considered implicit or abstract. However, social values \u200b\u200bare binding on individuals. Over time, a value can shift, change, adapt to the times, be updated, even be abandoned.<\/p>\n

For example, the culture of greeting has begun to erode in urban communities due to self-occupation and the introduction of individualistic culture. This will be different if in the village, residents will greet each other, both those who pass by are familiar or only know their names.<\/p>\n

Social values \u200b\u200bthat develop in a society become a way of life. It is always present in society and is practiced from generation to generation.<\/p>\n

It should be remembered that social values \u200b\u200bare not a matter of right and wrong. It becomes a concept that exists within humans, is philosophical about what is considered good and what is considered bad. A thing can be said to be valuable if it is useful (use value), true (truth value), beautiful (aesthetic value), good (moral value), and so on.<\/p>\n

Social values \u200b\u200bare very necessary in society. This is because social values \u200b\u200bare often used as a guideline for life by the community in determining attitudes in everyday life.<\/p>\n

Not only that, social values \u200b\u200bare also used as the value of human life in dealing with other humans. Social values \u200b\u200bare not simply obtained when they are born. It is obtained through a value system taught by parents to their children with various adjustments.<\/p>\n

Characteristics and Functions of Social Values<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Social value can be identified from several characteristics as follows.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Value is created socially, in the sense that value is the result of an agreement with a community to meet human needs and achieve certain goals,<\/li>\n
  • Values \u200b\u200bhave a broad scope, including ways of behaving, customs\/habits, and culture.<\/li>\n
  • Social values \u200b\u200bare passed down from generation to generation through social interaction over a relatively long period of time.<\/li>\n
  • Social values \u200b\u200bare not static, in the sense that over time values \u200b\u200bcan shift, change, be renewed and abandoned.<\/li>\n
  • Social values \u200b\u200bvary between communities due to differences in cultural systems.<\/li>\n
  • Social values \u200b\u200bare binding on individuals or groups in a society.<\/li>\n
  • Created from a process of intensive human interaction and not behavior that was born.<\/li>\n
  • Transformed through a learning process that includes socialization, acculturation, and diffusion.<\/li>\n
  • There are social measures or rules that help meet social needs.<\/li>\n
  • Different for each group of people.<\/li>\n
  • Each value has a different effect on human action.<\/li>\n
  • Can influence individual personality as a member of society.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    There are three functions of social value as follows.<\/p>\n

    1. As a Code of Conduct<\/h3>\n

    Social values \u200b\u200bcontain the way individuals act in everyday life so that they can be accepted in society. Value as a guideline means that value takes on a function as a source of reference and guidance for individual life in thinking, acting, and behaving.<\/p>\n

    All actions taken by individuals on the basis of freedom of expression must still be guided by the values \u200b\u200bor norms that exist in society. The goal is to stay under control and not harm themselves or the community group itself.<\/p>\n

    2. As Social Control<\/h3>\n

    Social values \u200b\u200bare formed from mutual agreements. Therefore, values \u200b\u200bare binding on individuals or groups in a society. Value has a function as a limiter regarding things that are appropriate and inappropriate to do. As well as, reinforce behavior that is considered good and bad.<\/p>\n

    Thus, it is hoped that every individual who grows up in society will be good and not do evil or deviate. However, unfortunately these values \u200b\u200bsometimes limit self-development. For example, women are not allowed to go to high school because later they will only become housewives or fight against their husbands. In fact, women who go to high school can educate their children properly and stay sane in running the household.<\/p>\n

    3. As Social Protector<\/h3>\n

    Social values \u200b\u200bare passed down from one generation to the next in a relatively long time. Social values \u200b\u200bcarry a broad vision, which is to encourage the creation of social order in social life.<\/p>\n

    Values \u200b\u200bhave a function as a social protection that minimizes the occurrence of forms of social deviation and provides a feeling of security for individuals or groups in a society.<\/p>\n

    2. Vital Value<\/h3>\n

    Vital value consists of everything that is useful in supporting daily activities. For example, jackets in winter or rain are used to warm the body. However, in hot or dry season the jakret has no value or its use decreases. Jackets based on their uses are included in objects that have vital value.<\/p>\n
