Best Answer

Correct manners

Proper eating behavior

Respecting the privacy of strangers
Folkways are a sociological term that indicates the normal means of interacting within the boundaries of a casual encounter. Folkways are closely related to mores, but are weaker and less rigid. Breaking a more is a more severe offense in society. Folkways, however, are considered polite interactions and breaking them can be perceived as rude. Examples of folkways are any everyday behavior that is followed for the sake of convenience. Holding the door open for someone immediately behind you is a folkway. Other examples include saying 'Bless you' after someone sneezes, moving aside to make room in an elevator, wearing a formal attire to a formal event, listening intently to a speaker, saying 'Excuse Me' when you jostle someone on the street. Folkways are simple interactions and gestures that make society operate smoothly. Some examples of folkways in sociology are quilting bees and barn raisings.

List of Folkways

The list of Folkways recordings is extensive. Folkways Recordings is the non-profit record label of the Smithsonian Institution. Keeping with the institution's mission of recording history in a way that is publicly accessible, the Folkways record label seeks to record and distribute music and narration which does not have the popular appeal which would attract a for-profit record label. Folkways make available the music of Americana--from the Guthrie family to obscure Delta blues artists.
