William Graham Sumner's Folkways: A Study of the Sociological Importance of Usages, Manners, Customs, Mores, and Morals remains a foundational text in the fields of sociology and cultural anthropology. This meticulously prepared edition allows readers to explore Sumner's groundbreaking analysis of social norms and their profound impact on human behavior.
Delving into the origins and evolution of customs, Folkways examines how seemingly insignificant habits and traditions shape moral codes and societal structures. Sumner explores the power of mores-the deeply ingrained customs that dictate right and wrong-and their role in maintaining social order. His work provides insights into the development of ethical frameworks and the influence of cultural norms on individual lives. A cornerstone of social science, Folkways offers a comprehensive study of manners and customs, providing a framework for understanding the complex interplay between individual actions and collective beliefs. Discover the enduring relevance of Sumner's observations on the sociological importance of our everyday practices.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
