It decreed that in speaking he would have to suffuse musical art with the qualities and characteristics engraved in the stock by the history and vicissitudes of his race, by its age-long sojourn in the deserts of Arabia and on the barren hills of Syria, by the constraint of its religion and folkways, by its titanic and terrible struggle for survival against the fierce peoples of Asia, by the marvelous vitality and self-consciousness and exclusiveness that carried it whole across lands and times, out of the eternal Egypt through the eternal Red Sea.
All this gentle parody in motive theorizing continued contemporaneously with the output of the rich literature of social and behavioristic psychology which was almost entirely addressed to this very problem of human motives in modern economic society. There awaits them a bewildering array of studies of the motives, emotions, and folkways of our pecuniary civilization.

And in the sphere of sex, the great source and root of all human experience, it is upon the basis of Birth Control the voluntary direction of her own sexual expression that woman must take her first step in the assertion of freedom and self-respect. Folkways, p. 492. I saw a woman sleeping.
Although Anglo-Saxon "folkways," as Professor Sumner would say, permit us to eat and enjoy long-eared rabbits, we draw the line at short-eared rabbits, yet they were bred to be eaten. I am willing to admit that this was the first time that I had ever knowingly tasted their delicate flesh, although once in the capital of Bolivia I thought the hotel kitchen had a diminishing supply!
Coeducation and the scarcity of chaperons have made her self-possessed to a degree which mystifies readers not duly versed in American folkways. Though she plays at love-making almost from the cradle, she manages hardly ever to be scorched a salamander, as one novelist suggests, sporting among the flames of life.
The deepest of all strata in the very complex feeling of patriotism, one which is concerned in every relation among nations, is the devotion to, or habituation to or we might say identity with the great complex of ideals, feelings, and the like which make up the customs, folkways, mores or ethos of a group.
When the folk-ways change the laws change, even though no legislature or judge has recorded their repeal. Since Professor Sumner of Yale University wrote his important book, "Folkways," there is no excuse for any student not knowing that this statement is true. As a matter of fact, no court ever enforced all the written laws, or ever would, or ever could.
It would be difficult, indeed, to find anywhere a more remarkable contrast in contemporary folkways than that presented by the two great community groups of the South the inland or piedmont settlements, called the Back Country, and the lowland towns and plantations along the seaboard.
