In society, there are certain rules and regulations that are set up-- whether they be actual, physical laws people abide by, or rules that are just understood and followed. If these rules
(physical, mental, or otherwise) are violated, it goes against what is considered normal and acceptable. These rules could also be called forms... if you don't follow the rules, you do not fit into the form of society. In that society, fitting in is highly valued... going with what is accepted is valued. It is when people begin to challenge the forms and break free of that confinement of acceptability in society that things begin to change. This change and breaking free of the norm can be valued as well...
So does form imply a value system? Yes and no... it depends on which perspective you are taking. Do you want to be accepted, or do you want change?
