It can be said that while discussing about informal and formal social control the example can be provided with the Nuer group of people where the formal social control was the forced building of villages for the protection against the flooding rains and also the practice of horticulture. Each of them used to follow this as the same pattern. The informal social pattern was the name calling process that they used for each other. They had divided the names of men and women and also boys and girls which can be considered as a way to provide informal social control over each other.
