b. Normative Indoctrination

d. Folkways

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct response is Option D: Folkways.

Explanation:

The example of different social conceptions of proximity is an example of folkways.  Folkways refer to the essential or characteristic customs and conventions of a community.   Like in the United States it is not very common to welcome friends and family with a kiss, but in Latin America this is common.  We often notice and feel taken aback when someone does something that is different than our own cultural practice.  Mores are social norms that are widely observed within a particular society or culture, but to violate them is usually considered offensive or morally wrong.  Folkways are standards of behavior that society approves of but they are not morally significant, like shaking hands.
