Sociology

It is evidently popular and trendy to find young people interacting and socializing in a coffee house. This is one of the public or private spaces that define certain forms of styles of interactions and behavior. People adopt certain kind of custom and collective behavior patterns that are clearly unique for such a set up and environment.

Literature Reference  Sociability, defined as group behavior is also described as seeking company of others (Flanagan 9). As a concept of social theory, sociability patterns seek to demonstrate what the social networks are made up of and how they are formed together. Socialization is greatly fashioned by social norms of human interactions within a particular environment. Sociability set ups function best, where, groups meet and agree within the confines of what they feel is the best suitable environment for their collective activities match their appropriate behavior. Coffee shops and other public social places appeal to different classes and cultural groups. Norms can be defined as a set of rules that govern a groups beliefs, values and behaviors, they can be the social customs, ways, traditions and conventions appropriate within a given culture (Dubois 1). Norms are the expectations of behavior with a certain cultural setting.
