Not really compatible with each other. diff perspectives come from assumptions that are not compatible with each other. Social norms are external and given, therefore they are objective. Something that is independent from you and from your thoughts. Like looking at a table, all you see is a table, because its real and separate from you. Widespread consensus about ideas, behaviours, and characteristics which are either proper and acceptable, or improper and unacceptable. Functionalist theory: the origin of the objectivist perspective.
