Background assumptions are deeply embedded common understandings or basic rules concerning our view of the world and of how people ought to act in that world. When such assumptions are violated, people become bewildered, confused, anxious, and even angry. The study of these assumptions provides us with an insight on the ways in which basic rules of social life are an essential part of social structure.
