What rules govern behavior? Make a short list of manners or rules of etiquette.

Behavior Norms: rules defining appropriate and inappropriate behavior. Norms are expected behavior Folkways: norms that lack moral significance. violation of folkways do not bring serious consequences. Mores: Norms that have moral dimensions and that should be followed by members of a society. Based on the word moral, thus they have great moral significance. Taboos: The most serious mores. It is a norm that is so strong that its violation demands punishment by the group (or some think, the supernatural). Law: Norms that are formally defined and enforced by officials. Some mores and taboos become laws.

Conclusion: What is American culture? Can you identify certain key characteristics that are drastically different from other cultures? If scientists from the future were to examine the ruins of America, how would they interpret our culture?
