Mores are social norms that are widely observed within a particular society or culture, and they determine what is considered morally acceptable or unacceptable within any given culture. They are the customs, norms, and behaviors that are acceptable to a society or social group. Mores are strict in the sense that they determine the difference between right and wrong in a given society, and people may be punished for their immorality, which is commonplace in many societies in the world, at times with disapproval or ostracizing. Mores are moral standards that determine right and wrong, and they are not social standards or folkways. The repercussions for breaking mores can be severe, such as legal sanctions or even death. Mores change depending on the culture, group, or society, and are the basis of some laws. Examples of traditional customs and conventions that are mores include lying, cheating, causing harm, alcohol use, drug use, marriage beliefs, gossip, slander, jealousy, disgracing or disrespecting parents, refusal to attend a funeral, politically incorrect humor, sports cheating, vandalism, leaving trash, plagiarism, bribery, corruption, saving face, respecting your elders, religious prescriptions, and fiduciary responsibility.
