In some countries, cities, companies and families, people are calm about 15-minute delays, rubbish under their feet, wrinkled clothes, violent gestures, bickering between children and adults and subordinates with management. In others, you will be severely punished for the slightest lack of punctuality, chewing gum that flew past the urn, an extra comma in a document, or irreverence in your eyes. Why do some cultures strictly adhere to established norms, while others actively welcome independence and initiative? Why do people comply with established norms, sometimes contrary to common sense? Where do norms come from? These questions concern many people living in an era of change, including modern Russians. The author of the book, psychologist Michel Gelfand, explores the historical, social and economic causes of the most common freedoms and restrictions, and also analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of both systems - rigid and free.
