Explanation:
Let us first define these three; values, Folkways and more. This should demarcate which of the following should be rightly paired with which. <em>We should note that some of these might show some sense of overlapping in real life based on the differences in cultures around the world.</em>
Values: value shows the degree of importance of some thing or action, aimed at determining <em>what actions are best to do or what way of living is the best way to live.</em>
Folkways: the traditional behavior or way of life of a particular community or group of people. <em>Folkways demarcate between what is rude and what is polite</em>, so they exert a form of social pressure that encourages us to act and interact in certain ways.
Mores: Mores determine what is considered morally acceptable or unacceptable within any given culture. <em>It is a stricter form of folkways</em>, more like the manner, custom and habit of a particular culture.
