Social control.

Explanation:

The reaction of Moira's boss is an example of social control. Social control is a set of techniques that are used to prevent deviant social behavior. We internalize moral codes which determine our values, behavior, and appearance. These norms will conform to the community in which we live in. Social control is also exercised by the family, the group of peers, and our superiors. What is right or wrong is determined by society and there are sanctions for wrong or illegal behavior.
