In societies like Sweden, it is popular, especially among the younger citizens, to speak about things like “norms”, “structures” and “identity”. However, only a minority tend to be able to actually understand these concepts at stage 12 Systematic or above. This certainly includes students of sociology, the often idealistic young people I’ve had the pleasure of teaching. Instead, people will recast these concepts at stages Abstract 10 and Formal 11. Norms are taken to mean “social rules that create inequalities” and are always seen as bad.
