Institutional Taboos. Institutions can have their own rules governing taboos, separate from the rest of society. Governments, universities, corporations, religions, legal systems, the media, the military, professions in education, law and medicine all have separate cultures and their own hierarchy of taboos.
What is considered taboo in the work place will depend on the kind of job you have and the specific rules of etiquette of the institution you work for.
Taboos in the family. All families are different and what is thought of as good or bad behavior will depend on the personal views of the most senior members of the family.
Personal Taboos. These are your own rules of what is acceptable and unacceptable with regards to your own personal interactions with others. More than the others, these kinds of taboos depend greatly on the situation and context. A person at their place of worship on a special day will have a long list of things they won't do, say or talk about. Whereas, a few days later in a social setting of close friends their list will have almost certainly got a little shorter!
Language as a reflection of social and cultural structure of society. The past decades have witnessed a rapid development in sociolinguistics and the findings in this field have greatly enriched our understanding of the relationship between language and society.
There has been a maxim in sociolinguistics that claims, “You are what you say”. Following this claim, we may expand the scope of our observation by introducing some social factors that influence our language behavior in a social context. Sociolinguists have documented the presence of dialects in every language. These dialects, all of which are legitimate, are associated with educational, economic, social and historical conditions. To linguists, the word “dialect” refers to a way of speaking a language, to an incorrect way of speaking a language. Languages vary from one place to another, from one social group to another, and from one situation to another. Language variation describes the relationship between the use of linguistic forms and factors such as geography, social class, ethnic group, age, occupation, function or style. The combination of these various factors results in an individual's idiolect, that is, their particular and idiosyncratic manner of speech. When a variety of language shared by a group of speakers it is known as a dialect. All speakers of a language speak a dialect of that language. Dialect is more a political term than a linguistic one. By definition, everyone speaks a dialect. The question is which dialects viewed as the “standard”, “correct”, or “official” languages, and which ones are marked as the “dialects” or “slang”. “Poor English” literally means the English of the poor, the rural, the weak.
