Summary/Abstract: Each culture contains a large number of guidelines that guide behavior in certain situations. Such terms are called norms. Establishing the rules is an inseparable part of the culture of a society, and knowing and respecting rules and norms of behavior is an integral part of man's identity. What a certain social community is more developed, so that it has more developed rules and norms of behavior. Contemporary societies have different forms of normative social life, and in the context of social security and stability the most significant are: custom, law, morality, tradition and religion. Although each of these forms has its own autonomous meaning and role, none of them can be observed isolated and unavoidable about other forms of normation. In this light, according to Kant, religion is the source of 'duty morality' but also has a major influence on the creation of customs and habits rooted in religion. This paper actually focuses on sources of social norms, their scope and significance for social security and stability within a particular social community.
