When Captain Cook asked the chiefs in Tahiti why they always ate _26_，they replied.
“ Because it is right. ”If we ask Americans why they eat with knives and forks , or why their men
wear pants _27_ skirts，or why they may be married to only one person at a time，we are likely

done ’’ ‘‘Because it s the _29_ ”or even “I don’t know ” The reason for these and countless other "
patterns of social behavior that they are _30_ by social norms--shared rules or guidelines which
prescribe the behavior that is appropriate in a given situation Norms _31_ how people “ought” to

readily that we are hardly aware they _32_ . In fact , we are much more likely to notice _33_
from norms than conformity to them. You would not be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands
when you were introduced, but you might be a little _34_ if they bowed , started to stroke you or
kissed you on both _35_．Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate in other parts
of the world．When we visit another society whose norms are different , we quickly become aware
thatthings wedothis way，they dothat way．
