serious question: what it means to be "socially obligated" ?
- MaxGabriel 15y agoJust that you're expected to do something by others, mostly by convention, like saying thank you. (presuming this is an English question, not a philosophical one).
- jessriedel 15y ago"Social norm" is the technical term. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_(social) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_(social)
