People are going to behave however the social norms permit,

Summary

This quote suggests that people's behavior is largely influenced by social norms, but they may also go beyond these norms in their actions. Social norms are the unwritten rules that govern the accepted behavior within a society, setting expectations and boundaries. However, individuals are not restricted solely by these norms; they have the capacity to exceed or deviate from them as well. In essence, this quote emphasizes the role of social norms in shaping behavior while recognizing that people can still act in ways that extend beyond those norms.
