Social norms are solely created by the collective agreement of society without any influence from those in power.

Social norms are the unwritten rules about how we should behave in society, and while they do come from the collective agreement of people, those in power often influence them. For example, laws made by governments can shape social norms by setting expectations for behavior, like the way we drive on the road. If a leader promotes certain values, like honesty or respect, these ideas can become widely accepted norms over time. Therefore, while everyone in society helps create norms, those with power can steer what is considered acceptable or unacceptable behavior. This shows that social norms are influenced by both the people and those in positions of authority.
