   • Makes u steer away from the incorrect course of action towards one that fits with laws and rules

3. Tradition

   • the culture we belong to also becomes a part of us through socialisation. We come to accept its norms and values and traditions as a part of our identity.

   • risk disapproval by not following cultural Norms and traditions

5. Internalisation of social rules and morality

     • we learn through the observation of those around us (role models). If we see the behaviour being rewarded rather than punished we tend to imitate it.
