Answer to Question 1

(1 ) language;
(2 ) education

Answer to Question 2

Sanctions are expressions of disapproval of deviance (negative sanctions) or rewards for conforming to norms (positive sanctions). Both positive and negative sanctions can be formal or informal. In general, the more seriously a society values a norm, the harsher the penalty for its violation and the more formal its application. Positive sanctions are given for conformity to norms but because conformity is expected by members of society, one must usually exceed expectations to achieve formal recognition. Society guides the behavior of members of society by publicizing negative sanctions, through the media, by issuing fines, various degradation ceremonies, and shaming. Society encourages conformity through public recognition and formal and informal awards.
