Social aspects are the commonalities among people within a specific culture. Social aspects may include the following:

• language
• norms
• rules
• values
• beliefs
• customs

These commonalities are the foundation for any society. The way we communicate, interact with one another, and function in our daily lives are all influenced by the social aspects of our society. Social aspects in the United States, for example, may include a belief in God, valuing hard work and success, and gaining an education.
