Laws may be formal and written exercised by institutions e.g.; Parliament, police.
Laws are explicit-very clear on paper and are the same for everybody in that society. They also provide severe, specific, unchangeable punishment. Rewards in forms of citations, medal, honor, cash prize, Bharat Ratna. Formal laws are the same everywhere and depend upon societal requirement.
Norms: Norms are informal and unwritten. They are exercised by the primary group which includes family and friends.
Laws are:

  • Implicit: Ambiguity can be there, depends upon the people and situations.
  • Punishment given in indifferent contexts.
  • Informal reward like pat on back etc. hug etc.
  • Differs from person to person, place to place, based on values/cultures of society.
