1. GESTURESThe ways in which people use
their bodies to communicate with one another.
Gestures can differ in meanings around the world.
It is important to learn the gestures of another culture if you want to get along fine with that culture.
Some fundamental emotions are inborn( sadness, anger, fear, etc.)

Folkways vs. Mores“ A man who walks down a street
wearing nothing on the upper half of his body is violating a folkway; a man who walks down the street wearing nothing on the lower part of his body is violating one of our most important mores, the requirement that people cover their private parts in public.’
Ian Robertson (1987)sociologist
