	USCCB - Committee on the Liturgy - Norms for the Distribution and Reception of Holy Communion Under Both Kinds in the ...
		The purpose of these norms is to ensure the reverent and careful distribution of Holy Communion under both kinds.
		Norms established by the diocesan bishop must be observed wherever the Eucharist is celebrated in the diocese, "even in the churches of religious orders and in celebrations with small groups."
		The norms and directives established by the Church for the celebration of any liturgical rite always have as their immediate goal the proper and careful celebration of those rites.

	Norm (sociology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In sociology, a norm, or social norm, is a rule that is socially enforced.
		Norms with common sense origins may, over time, lose their original context as society changes: an action that was once performed because it was necessary to survive may over the years become a social norm, even once the circumstances that made it necessary for survival are no longer applicable.
		As a series of examples that are under tremendous contemporary pressure as norms evolve: the term "lover" once was presumed to denote a person of the opposite sex; a "mature" adult once was presumed to be or have been married; and a "couple" once was presumed to have or want children.

		Norms are used as standards with which we measure the appropriateness of behaviors, perceptions, beliefs, and even feelings, within the social group to which the norms are relevant.
		The word norm is from the same root as "normal," and the simplest way of finding norms in some group or society is to see what the people consider to be normal.
		Norms, like habits, seem to maintain their own existence: "The behavior 'prescribed' by an informal norm is prescribed because it is deemed to be valid.

		Norms differ from rules in that they are not formal or written down.
		Norms may in fact be so subtle that group members are in fact unaware that they even exist.
		Whereas an organization may have rules regarding honesty in the workplace, it is far more likely that it is unwritten norms which foster worker honesty, loyalty, appropriate dress or behaviors related to absenteeism or tardiness.

	The Abnormal Normals
		Human societies are all about norms, correct ways to behave, standard ways to look, socially acceptable attitudes to all things.
		The whole you is never static, never a 'norm', aspects of you grow and decline, are important or not in different contexts.
		All the ideas on which our social norms are based are abstract ones, they do not themselves exist in the material world - we create the ideas of beauty, of good or of worth collectively, and we can change them as we see fit.

		Part of the reason for that success is that the team leaders understand the value of team dynamics, of getting team members to accept some useful mental models, some agreed-upon ground rules, some norms of behavior.
		You cannot get to norming or performing without some storming first (those who think otherwise are only kidding themselves, don't realize just how much more effective they could be).
		Explicit norms helped us interact with each other, providing some basic ground rules on what we all agreed would help us be more effective, more productive.

	Norms on Indulgences
		The three conditions may be fulfilled several days before or after the performance of the prescribed work; it is, however, fitting that Communion be received and the prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff be said on the same day the work is performed.
		The condition of praying for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff is fully satisfied by reciting one Our Father and one Hail Mary; nevertheless, each one is free to recite any other prayer according to his piety and devotion.
		The norms regarding plenary indulgences, particularly the one stated above in Norm 24, 1, apply also to what up to now have been customarily called "toties quoties" ["as often as"] plenary indulgences.

	SSRN-Norms-Based Intellectual Property Systems: The Case of French Chefs by Emmanuelle Fauchart, Eric von Hippel
		Norms-based IP systems operate on social norms that are held in common by members of a given community and specify the nature and extent of rights that a group member can assert to intellectual property.
		We also point out that the existence of norms-based IP systems means that the usage of information that is freely accessible and not legally protected may be nonetheless restricted to the benefit of innovators.
		Indeed, information "commons" may in fact be criss-crossed by norms-based fences, with access by those adhering to community norms controlled by IP owners.

		Some norms will be strictly adhered to while others permit a wide range of behaviour.
		Common norms in groups include: taboo subjects, open expression of feelings, interrupting or challenging the tutor, volunteering one's services, avoiding conflict, length and frequency of contributions.
		It may be helpful to invite a group to break into subgroups to discuss its norms and perhaps to discard some of those which seem counter-productive.

		The norms or ethos of the group derive from the system of meanings generated by the cultural worldview.
		The dominant normative systems in the West today are based upon the Abrahamic religions, originated about four thousand years ago.
		A norm system which is not in conflict with current knowledge and technology, but which takes advantage of the great progress human society has made, could guide future development in a positive direction more surely.

		Social norms are people's beliefs about the attitudes and behaviors that are normal, acceptable, or even expected in a particular social context.
		Therefore, when people misperceive the norms of their group—that is, when they inaccurately think an attitude or behavior is more (or less) common than is actually the case—they may choose to engage in behaviors that are in sync with those false norms.
		Student perceptions of drinking norms are part of that campus environment, and correcting student misperceptions about their peers' drinking is an important part of ensuring that inaccurate perceptions about the environment are not negatively influencing student behavior.

		Human organizations and societies have successfully coped with similar problems of coordination, cooperation, etc., in short, with the challenge of social order, mainly by developing norms and conventions, that is, specifications of behavior that all society members are expected to conform to, and that undergo efficient forms of decentralized control.
		There is a growing body of work that touches upon the concepts of norms and institutions in the context of multi-agent systems.

	Encyclopedia Coptica: The Christian Coptic Orthodox Church Of Egypt
		Throughout that period, the Coptic language remained the language of the land, and it was not until the second half of the 11th century that the first bi-lingual Coptic-Arabic liturgical manuscripts started to appear.
		One of the first complete Arabic texts is the 13th century text by Awlaad El-Assal (children of the Honey Maker), in which the laws, cultural norms and traditions of the Copts at this pivotal time, 500 years after the Islamic conquest of Egypt were detailed.
		The adoption of the Arabic language as the language used in Egyptians' every-day's life was so slow that even in the 15th century al-Makrizi implied that the Coptic Language was still largely in use.
