Answer 2

norms are the points of reference through which we can detect and understand what's going on arround us. the fact that these norms are imposed on us made many people especially young one uneasy to follow them. this is wrong if you want to get rid of the authority of norms you should study and understand them: knowledge leads to freedom!
