Social norms significantly influence political interactions by shaping the expectations and behaviors of individuals within a community. These unwritten rules dictate acceptable discussion topics, forms of disagreement, and collective participation in political processes. When social norms favor civic engagement, individuals are more likely to participate in elections and public forums, contributing to a vibrant democracy. However, if norms discourage dissent or prioritize conformity, they may stifle diverse perspectives and voter turnout. Political leaders must recognize and navigate these norms, encouraging inclusive participation and fostering an environment where varying views can coexist and contribute effectively to governance.
