    I think a person such as a sociologists could veiw the world as a stage seeing as how the way humans perform is what causes a reaction by other people. These reactions in a way are how norms are created and veiwed. And of course if there is no one around there could not be a need for norms. And the only thing that follows norms are people. Role performance is the way we act in society in our role such as being a mother, father, or what ever.
