[QUOTE="Amelie, post: 221026, member: 1287"] Hey i never said what i thought, so no need to appologise- i was merely raising an issue that i thought was interesting under the 'acceptable' behaviour ruling. I was curious as i am in the middle of a psychology based essay on society, i was debating what matters to whom, and how the question would be viewed. I do find it amusing though that a few say they will not be dictated by social constraints or expectances, when we are goverend by such cultural norms continuoulsy. You would not refuse to drink a pint at the table as you see it as your right, but it is not about having an automatic right is it- its about fiiting in with the ambience as and when needeed. I mean, it is my right to pick my nose, but i wouldnt do it when meeting someones folks for the first time, the occasion would not require it. You may think it extreme to link nose picking and pint drinking in a resturant a riduclous notion, but surley they are just different levels of the same thing, what is considered socially exeptable behaviour at different times, the levels of embarrasment and concious effort to show acceptable behaviour. To many, drinking pints in an 'unnacceptable' setting would be considered as rude. I would not go to someones wedding straight out the garden in my wellies covered in pig shit- partly because of social constraints and culture that have told me my whole 28 years that you must dress accordinly, partly due to repect for my friends who probably want to create some kind of specialness to thier day (lol not saying you have to have dressed up friends to have a special day, or indeed what your friends look like on your day counts as such so no negative quoating please) and partly down to personal pride. Probably if someone told me that i HAD to dress a certain way then it would be differnt, but when its down to autonomy then i have no issues with it. Seems irrelevant now but i never drink pints, not because i am female and i think its wrong, its just i go for spirits when out as it cuts down on the trips to the toilet. :) Edited to add that social constraints also manifest in our choice of clothing, and for those who think they may not be goverend by such social constraints, or indeed habour such 'conformist' ideas, then when dont we all wear trainers from the market, or dress in clothes from matalan. It all boils down to wanting to fit in and be acceptable, just on different levels thats all :) I just find it really interesting to observe human behaviour, and love the fact we all vary in our thoughts and views on what is okay and not.
