So . . . you waded into a question about the nature of norms (standards of correctness), and, since many philosophers think they pervade almost every aspect of our lives (not just our social conventions and moral laws, but our language and thoughts as well), the question goes very deep.

If you're interested in how deep it goes, you might want to try taking a look at Wittgenstein's rule following considerations. On (one reading of) the Wittgensteinian account, understanding a language (and thus, having the requisite concepts for thought at all) cannot be taken apart from immersion in social practice and conformity to social norms. If you dive into the secondary literature (which, if you want to really get a handle on the issue, I suggest you do) I'd warn against reading Kripke's account until you have a good grasp of the issue at hand, and (the few interpretations of) Wittgenstein's solution. The overall best secondary source I've come across is Meredith Williams' book *Wittgenstein, Mind, and Meaning.

Extending the scope of normativity, Robert Brandom's book Making it Explicit takes one of it's starting points from Wittgenstein, and puts forward a theory of how our explicit normative understanding takes it's root from social practices which are implicitly normative. This is probably one of the most important books in the past 50 years, and will provide you with a very deep understanding of the questions you are concerned with. However, it's 700 pages of really dense writing, so I suggest, if you're interested, taking a look at Jeremy Wanderer's book on Brandom.
