Orthodoxy means having, believing in and adhering to conventional standards.

Heterodoxy means having, believing in and adhering to unconventional standards. Heterodoxy would also be referred to as unorthodox.

A society know for it's orthodoxy would be a society that adheres to established norms and heterodoxy would go against what is considered to be established norms.
