Excerpt from Culture of a Contemporary Rural Community: El Cerrito, New Mexico
Every group has its dominant mores and customs, with sanctions and taboos for human conduct, to which the individual is expected to conform. The values attached to the expected modes of behavior play a tremendous role in the life and conduct of both groups and the individuals that compose them. To understand these dominant sanctions and taboos, and the values attached thereto, is to go far toward understanding a people and its culture.
