Material Detail

Hello! This 4 1/2 minute Introduction to Sociology video explains the concepts of folkways, mores, and taboos, which help us understand norms. Norms are culturally appropriate behaviors, and not only do these involve formal expectations such as rules, laws, and ethics, but they are also informal everyday guidelines that influence our actions and responses. We reflect on the importance of this information in navigating social interactions in social environments.
