Why do you wait for the little walking-man symbol before crossing the road? Why does standing in a queue suddenly feel non-negotiable? And why do you become more conscious of the space you're taking up when sharing a public place? These are things we rarely stop to think about.

So is being law-abiding a part of our personality? Or is it shaped by the society we live in, the systems around us, and what we see everyone else doing?

As immigrants, moving between different countries makes us more aware of the fact that the rules, expectations and ways of navigating public life can be different from what we're used to.

In this week's conversation, Fatima G and Navya talk about civic sense, the laws we encounter in our daily lives, and all the little rules and social cues we learn without even realizing we're learning them. Let's unravel it.
