The social usages, folkways regulating our behaviour, are called mores. The folkways and mores have the same source of their emergence and it is group interaction. Both are the customary ways of life and are standards of right and wrong. The people seek direction of their actions by learning these norms in group life.
â¢ Both folkways and mores are norms of a society though folkways are more general in nature and have a wider character. â¢ Mores have much greater significance for the welfare of the society and violations incur severe punishments, while violations of folkways are seen with mere contempt or frown by the society.
