		The custom described above, and which refers solely to bhang as distinguished from other preparations of the hemp plant, is he most important occasion on which bhang is used as a part of social or religious ceremonies; but there is evidence to show that the drug in this form is used at other festivals.

	H014: Sexuality, Unchastity and Fertility: Economy of Production and Reproduction in Colonial Haryana
		Socially and ideologically, this defiance, stood strongly condemned as society equated the uncontrolled sexuality of a widow who refused to marry with that of a prostitute whose sexuality could not be controlled or a barren woman whose sexuality could not be channelized into reproduction.
		The custom did not merely control the limited inheritance rights of the widow, an aspect which we have investigated extensively elsewhere, [1] it also controlled her sexuality, fertility and labour.

		AKERLOF, George A. (1980), "A Theory of Social Custom, of Which Unemployment May Be One Consequence".
		The results of simulation with this model suggested that the social choice over alternative constitutional rules, when biased by the distribution of power within the group, may lead to rule regimes that, although generating inferior outcomes for the group, may (or may not) be sustained in time, through coercion.
		However, the visible hand of meta-agency, and the underlying social choice, also seem to be no guarantee of efficiency: the mode of meta-agency and the constitutional rules that it enforces affect in a critical way the performance of the group.

	20th WCP: John Dewey's Critique of Socioeconomic Individualism
		One reason for the comparative sterility of discussion of social matters is because so much intellectual energy has gone into the suppositious problem of the relations of individualism and collectivism at large, wholesale, and because the image of [their] antithesis infects so many specific questions.
		Unable to understand let alone overcome the giant social complex which had helped to produce their socioeconomic bonds, average workers were thus atomized and individuated, that is, separated off from coworkers, bosses, and society at large—ideologically so, at least.
		One of the obstructions in the path is the seemingly engrained notion that the first and last problem which must be solved is the relation of the individual and the social:—or that the outstanding question is to determine the relative merits of individualism and collective or of some compromise between them.

	Sarah Jones is The Real Deal - James Campion
		Her form, her face, her very spirit are the tools of her compelling prose and poetry.
		This is why I believe she will be a significant generational siren, a cool customer in polarized political times amidst an increasingly mounting nation of divergent cultures.
		The medium is indeed the message for Jones, the shake of a hand, the twitch of an eye, the subtly of her focus gracefully befitting her considerable imagination.

	[Twisted-Python] verbal violence humor (was: Evangelism notes...)
		Obviously, this was intended as humor, but I believe that this social custom, along with as other related social customs in Twistedland, deter people from some other cultures from participating.
		This is very frequent on the IRC channel, and probably its practitioners don't notice how often it occurs (because shared social customs quickly become unnoticed by their practitioners).
		All I'm saying is that verbal violence humor, interpersonal aggression humor, and such customs limit the growth of your project by turning off people from outside your own specific (sub-)culture.

	Is 1999 the Real 'Year of the Woman'? - Christine Stolba
		At the start of this century, women were denied access--either by law or social custom--to most of the educational programs that provided professional training.

	John Dewey: Human Nature and Conduct: Part I section IV Custom and Habit
		The problem f of social psychology is not how either individual or collective mind forms social groups and customs, but how different customs, established interacting arrangements, form and nurture different minds.

		An individual usually acquires the morality as he inherits the speech of his social group.

	Women And War: Acclimatised To Violence
		Women who would, in normal times, be the storehouses of family history, cultural lore, religious traditions, teachers of songs, tellers of stories, keepers of social custom, become instead the destroyers of all that is human and decent about the human race.
		Perhaps the most telling leitmotif of the last century is of a lost child crying or a woman sitting traumatised, her face blank, as fires rage in the background.
		Radhika Coomaraswamy, the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, questions the militarisation of women, pointing out that it flies in the face of the humanism, non-violence, and the "celebration of life over death" that characterise the women's movement all over the world.

	knowing ourselves - Writing Community
		Any obstacle to our wish, for example, a social custom or a convention, is an opportunity for us to explore the strength and the origin of our will.
		However, in today's society which has so many set conventions and customs, how is one as a social being ever to know oneself?
		On one hand, we are told to search deep within ourselves to find out who we are and to know ourselves; on the other hand we are constantly to examine every step of our life to make sure it is not in contradiction of any laws, conventions or customs of the society.

	NOCIRC-ND
		Ritual infant circumcision is not a medical procedure: A physician's license does not permit him or her to act as an agent for this social custom that is not based on medical need, but has always violated the patient's human rights and personal dignity.
		The AAP statement also flies in the face of the AAP's own Bioethics Committee's position on the ethics of proxy consent: "...'Proxy consent' poses serious problems for pediatric health care providers.
		Such providers have legal and ethical duties to their child patients to render competent medical care based on what the patient needs, not what someone else expresses....The pediatrician's responsibilities to his or her patient exist independent of parental desires or proxy consent."** The AAP statement fails to adequately enumerate the complications of neonatal circumcision.

	The Social Context of Sex Selection and the Politics of Abortion in India
		The entrenchment of gender preference in social custom, and the number of female deaths is an urgent reminder that, while sex-selective abortion is an important manifestation of son preference, the significant decrease in the female population occurs after birth and before the age of four.
		Identification of some of the key social, particularly socioeconomic, reasons that explain the circumstances of women's excess mortality is crucial to the formulation of development policy.
		The authors conclude with the suggestion that an important social indicator for evaluating the performance of development programs should be the reduction in sex differentials.
