c. mores; taboo
d. mores; folkway

Respuesta :

Answer:

c.  mores; taboo

Explanation:

The concept of mores can be defined as a social norms that are largely observed and are considered to have greater moral significance than others. Mores include an aversion for societal taboos such as murder. The mores of a society usually predicate legislation reinforcing their taboos. In the case of Jeffery Dahmer, convicting murder is an act of violation of Mores.

A taboo is an implicit prohibition on something based on a cultural sense that it is excessively repulsive or, perhaps, too sacred for ordinary people. Such prohibitions are present in virtually all societies. Eating the flesh of another human as Jeffery Dahmer normally does violates the cultural sense and tradition of the society.

THEREFORE, as such we conclude that option C is right.

Folkways are typically the conventions of everyday life.

In ethics, Value is the way of life. Value connotes the degree of importance of an action, with the aim of determining what actions are best to do or what way is best to live, or to describe the significance of different actions.

Belief is the attitude that something is the case or true. In epistemology, it refers to the term "belief" to refer to personal attitudes associated with true or false ideas and concepts.
