Folkways are social norms that provide expectations for members of a social group to follow, and there are mild sanctions or reactions to nonconformity. Folkways are learned behaviors that are shared by a social group and provide a traditional mode of conduct. They are informal patterns of social interaction that reveal commonly shared attitudes and beliefs by members of intimate social groups. Folkways are created through interaction and are organized through routine, repetition, habit, and consistency. They are ways of thinking, acting, and behaving in social groups that are agreed upon by the masses and are useful for the ordering of society. Folkways are spread through imitation, oral means, or observation and are meant to encompass the material, spiritual, and verbal aspects of culture. Examples of folkways include customary behavior for the use of the telephone, the way we dress, and the way we greet people. Folkways are not considered to be of moral significance by members of the group, unlike mores, which are social norms that are widely observed within a particular society or culture and determine what is considered morally acceptable or unacceptable within any given culture.
