Traditional social rules are those rules which have been followed from
ancient times by the people in the society. We are social beings. We
should follow our social rules and respect social rules and values. These
control and guide us to be social, moral and ideal persons.

Our social rules are associated with our culture and customs. We perform
many rites and rituals. While observing our customs, we invite our
relatives and neighbours. If we are invited, we participate and help them
as much as we can.

In addition, it is our traditional social rule to invite our married sisters
during festivals. Likewise, there are
many social rules to be followed. We
should respect and greet the elders.
We should respect our parents and

grandparents. It is our social rites
to say “Thank you” while receiving
something from others. We apolize
when we commit mistakes. We give
alms to beggars.

Our traditional rules are very important to
keep the society in order. They make the
society systematic and teach us the norms
and values. They make us easy to adjust in

society. We should follow these traditional
social rules for a sound and peaceful
society.
