Normlessness
A norm is an expectation of how people will behave, and it takes the form of a rule that is socially rather than formally enforced. Thus, in structural functionalist theory, the effect of normlessness whether at a personal or societal level, is to introduce alienation, isolation, and desocialisation, i.e. as norms become less binding for individuals. individuals lose the sense of what is right and wrong.
I wrote a piece in my notebook last Saturday at EP that deals with this and a few other things. I’m editing it right now and gathering background material to improve the initial draft.
