Standard Versus Reality

Standard as the labeling term for Best Practices

Standard is the term used to refer into the set of rules prescribed to be followed in a certain implementation. It is a set of rules enumerated to provide guideline on the implementation of something. Deviating away from the set of rules implies low grades of actions, and following the every detail of this rules guarantee an effective implementations. 

Standard are relative over time

The standards implemented at the moment are regarded to be the best known procedure of implementation known so far, but this set of rules might change over time as the new information surface over it which suggests that the set of rules should be rewritten. Standards therefore cannot be constant at all times. Moreover, group of thinkers all over the world is working to know something not known so far and upon knowing it triggers reevaluation of the standard and if found obsolete, revisions must be done. 

Does the norms of the society considered as the standard?

The norms of the society are considered standards only when majority of the people followed the set of rules in their community, but when all of the rules were not properly followed then these norms will evolve into another form. Specifically the set of rules will change over time as the way of thinking and belief of the people will change.
