Answer to Question 1

Answer:
Explicit norms are norms that are expressed through laws, regulations, signs, or other public methods. Some examples are speed limit signs, laws that are well-known, such as disorderly conduct, or regulations, such as rules in an athletic event. Enforcement means penalties in an athletic event, fines or detention for unlawful behavior. Implicit norms are implicit, i.e., unstated. Examples are, Don't engage in loud talk in the library, Don't talk on your cellphone in the elevator, etc. While many people would wish for police enforcement of some implicit social norms, they are mostly enforced through social means, e.g., disapproving looks (appealing to the wish to be liked), or obvious cues, as when everyone else stands up for the singing of the national anthem (good information about how one is expected to behave).
