People’s involvement in the life of society is determined by their behavior whichmanifests itself through actions, inactions and interpersonal relationships. All these puttogether, create the society. The human activity is characterized by its many dimensions. Oneof the most important is the normative dimension which involves establishing rules thatorganize human behavior. This imposes a certain pattern of behavior on the individual, inaccordance with the social values existing in society at a certain moment. So, within thehuman society, which is a dynamic, self-adjusting system, subject to specific processes ofstructuring and restructuring, the actions through which people - endowed with their ownconscience and will – ensure the functionality and dynamic of the social ensemble, can notoccur chaotically, but on contrary, they are carried out in an organized manner, based oncertain social rules, having a standardized nature. So, all social processes are conducted in anorganized manner based on the normative social system.
