There are three different types of norms: folkways, mores, and taboos. They vary on their significance (folkways being the least significant and taboos the most significant). Bodybuilders have their own set of norms. For instance, an example of a folkway is simple gym ethics such as cleaning equipment when you are finished, knowing how to work machines, wearing proper attire, giving space and privacy to others, and having respect. Next, an example of a more is bodybuilders are not supposed to photo shop their pictures to enhance their body. Bodybuilders do not respect other bodybuilders who do. I also found out another more through my research. Bodybuilders typically hate “crossfitters”. If you are a bodybuilder you do not do crossfit. They are rivals. Finally, an example of a taboo is don’t cheat and use drugs such as steroids or get implants to enhance muscles. When a bodybuilder chooses to use steroids they are not only cheating, they are also breaking the law, which is a very serious sanction. With our growing medical technology, men and women are now available to get implants for their muscles. Bodybuilders highly dislike this, remember, they value hard work and getting implants is the exact opposite of hard
