norms, folkways,mores,customs, law and sanctions.
Beliefs: are :IS" OR "IS NOT" e.g Prophet's (P.B.U.H) teachings

Norms:Standards of behaviour.Brown and Selznick defined it as"The norms
are blue prints for behaviour,setting limits within which individuals may seek
alternate ways to achieve their goals."
Folkways:According to Gillin and Gillin "Folkways are behavioural patterns of
everyday life which generally arise unconsciously in a group". can also be
called as norms of behaviour.Example:Shaking hands on contracts.
Mores:When notion of right and wrong is attached to folkways they are
called mores.

customs of society"
Laws are more or less systematic body of generalised rules.
