to go about your day. I have no idea how going class daily at the scheduled time became a norm. It must have been something that everyone started doing and later became a more concrete idea and normal for every student to do.

social constructs, and form their own ideas. These people were often openly chastised for their actions due to the fact society cannot function unless it has a strong following of individuals who adhere to its rules and implications.
