Folkway are informal norms governing everyday social behaviour whose violation raises comparatively little concern or mild social sanctions, such as disapproval or polite correction. These are the customs and conventions of daily life that guide routine interactions and contribute to social order. Examples of folkways include table manners, appropriate dress for certain occasions, and general politeness in social interactions. While violating a folkway might lead to social awkwardness or mild disapproval, it typically does not result in severe punishment or formal legal sanctions. Folkway are learned through socialisation and vary across cultures and social groups. They represent the unwritten rules that make social life predictable and comfortable.
