+ Internalization of Norms
When people come to believe that a norm is good, useful, and appropriate, they generally follow it and expect others to as well
Internalization is the process by which a norm become a part of an individual’s personality
Thus, the person conforms to society’s expectations

+ Examples of Internalization
When you sit down, you automatically pick up your fork to eat.
When the traffic signal turns red, you stop without thinking about it
* You do not do these things because you think you will be punished if you don’t. Rather, you have internalized society’s norms.

+Social Control The enforcing of norms is called social control
The primary means of social control in all societies is self-control, which is learned through internalization of norms
However, external enforcement of norms is necessary as well through sanctions
Individuals must follow certain rules of behavior if society is to function smoothly
If people ignore norms, social order is in jeopardy
No society can exist without an effective system of social control
