INTRODUCTION When all members of society adhere to the society's norms, mores, values, rules, and regulations, the society is called organised , ensuring the welfare and well-being of all members. When the society cannot sustain such laws and norms owing to various causes, it produces a state of disorder and instability in the society, which negatively influences the social system's smooth operation. All members of an organised community who obey the laws and standards are distinguished by sincerity, obedience, and loyalty. T here are times when people's minds have been programmed to violate or reject such established standards or conventions. As a result, social disorder, misbehaviour , and pathologies emerge.
