Conventions are widely accepted ways of behaving, speaking, or organizing things within a society, community, or field. They can be social norms that guide everyday interactions, formal rules established in professional or academic contexts, or shared standards in art, language, and communication. Conventions help create predictability and mutual understanding, because people know what to expect from one another in common situations. They may be written, such as style guides and protocols, or unwritten, like manners and etiquette. Although conventions are not always legally binding, they exert strong social pressure and can change over time as values, technologies, and cultural practices evolve.
