Custom

Custom can refer to a variety of concepts, each with its own unique implications and applications. These concepts include Convention (norm), Mores, Social norm, Tradition, and Customary law.

Convention (norm)[edit | edit source]

A Convention (norm) is a set of agreed, stipulated, or generally accepted rules, norms, standards, or criteria. These are often formed over time and can vary greatly between different cultures, societies, and communities. Conventions can govern a wide range of behaviors, from social etiquette to professional conduct.

Mores[edit | edit source]

Mores are the customs, norms, and behaviors that are considered acceptable in a particular culture or society. They are often seen as being practiced by individuals of good moral character. Mores can be formal or informal, and they often serve to guide individual behavior within a community.

Social Norm[edit | edit source]

A Social norm is a rule that is socially enforced. These norms can be explicit, such as laws, or implicit, such as social expectations. Social norms can influence a wide range of behaviors, from how individuals dress to how they interact with others.

Tradition[edit | edit source]

Tradition refers to customs, beliefs, or practices that are passed down from one generation to the next. Traditions can be cultural, familial, or societal, and they often serve to preserve a group's history, values, or identity.

Customary Law[edit | edit source]

Customary law, also known as consuetudinary law, refers to laws and regulations that are established by common practice. These laws are often unwritten and are enforced through social or community pressure rather than formal legal mechanisms.
