Sociology

Anastasia19

List at least three norms, folkways, and mores of American society. How significant are these within the current American culture? If members from a past generation (e.g., your grandparents) made this list, would it look similar or different? In the same post, answer the following questions:
- What do these differences or similarities imply about the social changes within our society?
- How might these differ between an ideal and real society?
Here are some examples to consider:
- Folkways are a type of norm that creates structure. Raising one’s hand to speak in a lecture signifies a norm.
- Mores focus on moral and immoral behaviors. Cohabitation prior to marriage might be considered immoral and result in negative responses from family members.
