Questions: QUESTION 5 The prohibition against murder in American Society is an example of a cultural folkway. a. True b. False

The answer is b. False

This option is incorrect because a cultural folkway refers to the informal norms or everyday customs that may be violated without serious consequences. Folkways are the traditional behaviors or ways of life of a particular community or group of people. They are not strictly enforced and do not carry severe penalties if broken.

This option is correct because the prohibition against murder is not a cultural folkway but rather a more serious norm known as a "more" (pronounced "mor-ay"). Mores are norms that are widely observed and have great moral significance. Violating mores, such as committing murder, results in severe consequences, including legal penalties. In American society, the prohibition against murder is codified in law and is considered a fundamental moral and legal standard, not merely an informal custom.
