UNDERSTANDING TABOOS: A WINDOW INTO CULTURE AND SOCIETY

Abstract

This  article  explores  the  concept  of  taboos  across  cultures,  examining  their 
origins, types, and societal roles. It highlights how taboos function as a reflection of 
cultural values and norms, while also noting how modern perspectives are reshaping 
some traditional beliefs. By investigating various examples and considering current 
shifts,  we  aim  to  offer  a  deeper  understanding  of  how  taboos  impact  individual 
behavior and collective society.
