Question 2
Folkways are cultural norms related to everyday, casual behaviors (unlike mores or laws which are more serious). Driving on a side of the road and paying taxes are more formal (laws or regulations), while saying “please” and “thank you” is a casual, everyday social norm (folkway).
Folkways are about everyday social interactions (not legal penalties or avoiding serious moral wrongs, which relate to laws/mores). They help people interact smoothly in daily life.
