## Do Frameworks Follow Social Norms?

Frameworks, whether in social sciences, technology, or organizational structures, often reflect and are influenced by social norms. These norms shape the values, behaviors, and expectations within a society, which in turn can dictate how frameworks are developed and implemented.

### Influence of Social Norms on Frameworks

1. **Cultural Context**: Frameworks are often designed with the cultural context in mind. For example, a framework for education in one country may emphasize collective learning and community involvement, while another may focus on individual achievement and competition.

2. **Ethical Standards**: Social norms dictate what is considered ethical behavior. Frameworks in business, for instance, often incorporate ethical guidelines that align with societal expectations, such as corporate social responsibility.

3. **Adaptation and Evolution**: As social norms evolve, frameworks may also adapt. For instance, the increasing emphasis on diversity and inclusion in many societies has led to the development of frameworks that prioritize these values in workplaces and educational institutions.

### Frameworks Shaping Social Norms

Conversely, frameworks can also influence social norms. For example, **legal frameworks can establish new norms** [so vv for **druid**, who was also magic] by defining acceptable behavior, such as laws against discrimination or regulations promoting environmental sustainability. 

In summary, frameworks do follow social norms, but they can also play a role in shaping and redefining those norms over time. This dynamic relationship highlights the interplay between societal values and structured approaches to various fields.
