Question

How do you think culture shapes our view of acceptable and
unacceptable behaviors? Do you think there are certain cultures where a wider range of
behaviors are more acceptable than in other cultures, where there might be more strict
rules that govern behavior? (This second question is relevant to a discussion of "tight" and
"loose" cultures, see the reference below.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Culture is called the set of social conventions that govern the daily life of a particular social group. Thus, they are the set of customs, beliefs, traditions, idiomatic expressions, etc., that prevail in a certain group of people.

Therefore, it is correct to affirm that culture determines the way in which each society distinguishes between acceptable and unacceptable behaviors: the correctness or incorrectness of each action is measured according to the idiosyncrasy of each society.

Thus, each society is different with respect to the way in which it considers each pattern of behavior: some do it more loosely, while others do it more strictly. A clear example is the distinction between the Latin nations and the Nordic nations, where the latter tend to be much stricter than the former.
