Answer 4

How are values, norms, and folkways reflection of culture? answer Norms are the established standards of behavior maintained by a society. For the norm to become significant, must shared and understood. Commands used to explain actions. I believe what it is saying is that the norm is what is expected of the different cultures.
Culture values are these collective conceptions of what is considered good, desirable, and proper –or bad , undesirable, and improper-in a culture.
Folkways are norms governing everyday behavior. Folkways play an important role in shaping the daily behavior of members of a culture. Societies around the world, folkways exist to reinforce patterns of male dominance.
(Schaefer)
I believe that values, norms, and folkways are to show What we believe in and what things we do that we feel is justify by our action and folkways is to put it all together for the good of the culture.

Answer 20

Alfreda. In order to find balance there will be swings from one extreme to the other. If, when driving the car is veering to the left, the wheel is turned to the right. If that's an over correction then the wheel must be turned again to the left.
For whatever reasons, possibly a lack of confidence, you use the words of others as if they were your own. Yes, you should cite following the agreed academic protocols. I suggest that you try over correction. When approaching the question read as necessary. Think about what you have read. Reflect on it. Challenge it. Do you agree or disagree with the author? Why? Why not? Does author A agree or disagree with author B? In what way? Do you disagree as well? Make the arguments by adding value. The value you bring by internalising the arguments of others, critiquing them and bringing your own arguments to the table. Stop quoting. The teacher will complain. "No quotes? " Despite these complaints they may recognise that you are on your way to expressing yourself, after which you can begin to re-introduce quotes in your writing. When you read ALWAYS close the book afterwards. When you make notes NEVER record the words from the page. Express the words in the way that you understand them. That some may disagree, I understand. I simply state a strategy which I firmly believe will help you overcome this problem. Try I positive mantra like "I have something to bring to this, something of myself" .Good luck.
