Explanation:

Folkways constitute informal rules and standards that are expected to be followed, although not offensive to violate.

Mores (pronounced like rays) are also non-written, informal laws that lead to severe fines and societal punishments, such as social and religious isolation, when they have been broken.

Folkways are not strictly enforced requirements. Mores are criteria that undermine the core values of a business when breached.
