Jennifer is attending a business luncheon with several corporate executives. At one point during the meal, she reaches in front of another executive for a saltshaker and hits the executive's arm as he is about to put a spoonful of soup in his mouth. The soup spills on his shirt, and he glares at Jennifer. The glare is an example of an Informal sanction.

When the executive glared at her after being hit, he expressed an informal sanction, a disapproval of the action committed by Jennifer. There is no law that sanctions actions like this one, so there is no formal sanction. However, the gesture, the glare, and expression of the face can show that the person dislakes or does not agree with a specific action or conduct.
