[edit] Community of interest
The page doesn't exactly tell what CoIs really are. Gerhard Fischer at the article Communities of Interest: Learning through the Interaction of Multiple Knowledge Systems describes them as following
- CoIs bring together stakeholders from different CoPs
- CoIs often are more temporary than CoPs: they come together in the context of a specific project and dissolve after the project has ended
Also most scientist in literature describe that CoPs are structures inside organization so the people in community work in the same organization.
[edit] Mores
Mores refers to a type of norm. (Folkways, mores, and taboos are all types of norms.) The idea of violating of a taboo evokes feelings of disgust because a taboo is such a strongly held norm. Picking your nose is a violation of a folkway, not a taboo. It might be gross, but it's not that important.
Incest and cannibalism typically violate taboos (although maybe not in all societies, these taboos are common). Murder and rape typically violate mores. Nose picking in public typically violates a folkway.
Taboos, mores, and folkways may all be part of formal norms, or laws and policies, but this isn't what classifies a norm. 209.106.183.195 01:07, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
