Relation of norms and metrics

Okay kiddo, let me explain what norms and metrics mean and how they relate to each other.

A norm is a rule or guideline that tells us how we should behave or act in certain situations. For example, it's a norm to say "please" and "thank you" when you ask for something.

On the other hand, a metric is a way to measure something, like how long it takes you to run around the playground or how many apples are in a basket.

Now, when we talk about the relationship between norms and metrics, we mean that sometimes we use metrics to see if people are following norms. For example, if we want to make sure people are being polite and using good manners, we might measure how often they say "please" and "thank you."

So, think of it like a game. The norm is the rule of the game, like how you have to throw a ball in a hoop to score points. The metric is how we keep score to see who's winning.

And just like in a game, we use metrics to see if people are following the norm, or if they need to improve. For example, if we see that someone isn't saying "please" and "thank you" very often, we might remind them to use better manners.

So, that's how norms and metrics relate to each other. They work together to help us follow the rules and make sure we're doing things the right way.
