The definition of "social mores" has evolved over time and place to have a multifaceted meaning in modern America. It now refers to outward expressions of good mental health, manifestations of moral codes and ideologies, and social customs and norms including proper conduct, etiquette, and standards of behavior. It also includes health habits and lifestyle factors that differ between groups but are generally considered binding for wellness and longevity. Contemporary social mores concern living healthily and upholding acceptable wellness norms for communities.
