Humans live within the norms of society. We live under the background assumptions, and under the social structure with many limits of behavior. For example, we need to work to gain money to maintain ourselves and our family, and we also need to follow the laws stated in the country you live. This is because as Billy Graham says "freedom is relative" we are free under many limits such as the law, or norms of each society. We can make decisions about our lives such as choosing what we want to study, what clothes we want to wear or where we want to live, but these decisions are made under the rules of the society we live in. There was a survey made by sociologists and anthropologists that revealed that less than half of the people (13) defined freedom with the social structure, but the majority (17) defined it with subjective factors, which means that they based their answer on their personal feelings and points of view. However, even looking it from both sides (social structure or subjective factors) we are still going to find out that we live by the rules set in a society, we are not completely free. According to a magazine called "Philosophy now" many philosophers claimed that humans cannot be the source of their actions, that their desires and inclinations should be from some cause. In my personal opinion, the source is God, the only one who has absolute freedom. Since we are born we are given limits which we are expected to follow, and that’s how we are raised so we get used to behave under these limits. Human beings are forced to live under the social structure with a relative freedom because even if we want to, we can’t get free from society.
Society has given names to each body type, and people have even categorized clothes, for example by thinkink that one type of dress only fits well in a hourglass body, so a woman who has a rectangle body type cant wear it. Women often choose their clothes according to what society think is right, or according to what they think it "fits".
It doesn’t matter in which country you live, you will always have to behave under the law of that part of the world, because if you decide to go against them, you will likely go to jail.
Even in school we behave under the limits or instructions we are given, for example in this picture we can seen the "group work expectations" and the rules are getting along, respecting, participating, etc, students have to act under these assumptions and behave correctly.
