Detailed explanation-1: -Generally the term ‘mores’ is used for positive action-things that ought to be done. e.g. Saluting the national flag, monogamy, policy of ‘women and children first’. And the term “taboo” is used for the negative action, things that one ought not to do.
Detailed explanation-2: -A taboo is a very strong negative norm; it is a strict prohibition of behavior that society holds so strongly that violating it results in extreme disgust or expulsion from the group or society. Often times the violator of the taboo is considered unfit to live in that society.
Detailed explanation-3: -Folkways are informal rules and norms that, while not offensive to violate, are expected to be followed. Mores (pronounced more-rays) are also informal rules that are not written, but, when violated, result in severe punishments and social sanction upon the individuals, such as social and religious exclusions, .
Detailed explanation-4: -The four types of social norms are: folkways, mores, taboos, and laws.
