Social Prohibition, also known as TABOO, is a social norm that prohibits certain behaviors or activities. It is a form of social control that is used to maintain order and stability in a society. Social prohibitions are often enforced through laws, customs, and religious beliefs. They can also be enforced through informal means such as peer pressure and social stigma. Social prohibitions can be used to protect individuals from harm, to maintain social order, or to promote certain values.
