Group norms are not to the extreme these days as they were in the past; a good example of showing this would be the movie Gosford Park. This movie takes place in the 1930’s and shows, in great detail, the difference between upper and lower classes, or servants and their employers. There are many social norms placed in Gosford Park The movie starts out showing us Mary waiting in the rain for Constance to enter the car, once she is in the car it became ok for Mary to get in. Then when the car arrived at the house of William McCordle, Mary was told that she had to enter in the back of the house where the others entered. This norm was also shown toward the end of the movie when Mary had to ask Jennings to enter the house through the front door. The servants not speaking and staying out of the way of their employers and their friends was made apparent early in the movie and was expressed throughout the movie. When we first entered the house we were unaware at the time what Isobel and William were talking about, but in the mist of their discussion, George, the servant, walked in and was referred to as a “nobody”.
