Living as a society necessitates control. Conception of norms by the members of the society, internalization levels of the norms either due to the fear of sanctions or due to other motives, are one of the determining factors for maintaining the order. Violation of the norm, which can be explained by many reasons, occurs as a reality of the social life regardless of its gravity. Keeping the violation levels low is desired in order to enable the society to fulfill its function without falling prey to depression. External control mechanisms are needed in order to achieve this goal. This study examines the order maintenance tools of the primitive societies although it occasionally refers to the structure and functioning of the modern society. This effort also occasionally provides a basis for developing value judgments related to the whatness and the character of law existence of which is controversial in primitive societies as one of the tools of social control. Moreover, the thoughts and the behaviors of the individuals in other cultures need to be examined according to the value judgment systems developed by them. In other words, one needs to look at the examined society from within their paradigm, from the inside and not the outside, by straying away from presumptions. This is the precondition for a scientific attitude.
