Economics has developed extensive modeling of household, firm, and aggregated economy-wide behavior utilizing rational actors. It has not developed social behavior analysis in as great of depth. The model presented here presents justification of the adoption of social norms by the individual as a method of examining the breakdown of social order by self-identified subgroups and society in general.
