George Simmel is a very significant part of the sociological world as we know it today. As we learned this week about social norms in regards to how our culture and society shape our behaviors.

We all understand what is expected of us (like the McDonald’s and bus/subway examples), and we adhere to the unwritten roles. This type of behavior is what interested George Simmel. Culture and societal customs drove him to delve into the reasons we do certain things, as well as why we create objects that become a part of our lives (pop culture). Simmel looked at how our new creations in technology changed the way we interact
