Folkways For example,
when you meet someone you know in the street you probably say "hello" and expect
them to respond in kind. If they ignore you, they have broken a friendship norm and this
might lead you to reassess your relationship with them. Another good example of a folkway is the tradition in our society of sending people Birthday and Christmas cards. If you forget to send someone a Christmas card, the worst thing likely to happen to you is they stop sending you a card each year... |
