Taboo
This document discusses various types of taboos around the world, including definitions, origins, and examples. It covers religious taboos, taboo sex practices, cultural taboos involving rituals, and food taboos. Specific rituals discussed include self-flagellation, spirit possession, fire walking, and scarification. Religious prohibitions and cultural norms around sex, diet, and social behaviors are described for several regions. Taboos in Pakistan are also summarized, such as those relating to dowries, black magic, honor killings, and food restrictions according to Islamic law.
Taboo
Taboos are social or religious prohibitions against certain actions or behaviors that are considered sacred or forbidden. The document provides examples of taboos from around the world related to activities, foods, depictions, and behaviors. Specific taboos discussed include cannibalism, self-flagellation, fire walking, dancing with corpses, impaling, and various dining etiquette rules in different cultures like not cutting noodles in China or asking for extra cheese in Italy. Religious taboos in Islam are also outlined, prohibiting pork, alcohol, depictions of Muhammad, adultery, and suicide. Taboos are culturally dependent and aim to enforce moral or spiritual guidelines within a society.
Taboo
This document discusses taboo topics that are forbidden or avoided within a society. Certain subjects are deemed too offensive or indecent to discuss openly. While taboos vary between cultures, they typically relate to topics involving sexuality, excretion, the human body, death, or spiritual beliefs.
Taboo Game - sports
The document lists various sports and provides hints about each one using restricted words. It challenges the reader to guess each sport based on the hints provided without using the listed restricted words for that sport. Some of the sports included are tennis, pole vaulting, high diving, handball, polo, volleyball, marathon running, snowboarding, surfing, chess, fencing, darts, billiards, gymnastics and arm wrestling.
Taboo Game - Random Things (intermediate)
The document contains a series of pictures with taboo words that cannot be used to describe the picture. For each picture there are 4 taboo words listed on the left and the viewer must describe the picture using other words. Some of the pictures include: a small land mass surrounded by water, a portable stand used to take self portraits, and wax cylinders that provide illumination.
Thesis Writing
This document outlines the structure and purpose of a research paper investigating the relationship between taboo language and the working class in the United Kingdom. The paper will examine whether certain taboo terms are used predominantly by unskilled and semi-skilled working class members. The structure includes an introduction defining taboo language and the UK working class. A literature review of relevant works will be followed by a research methodology of collecting taboo words from TV shows, categorizing them, and analyzing their frequency in different social classes. The paper will analyze the results to determine the extent to which social class affects everyday language communication.
Taboo game
This document contains a game title followed by taboo words and additional words that could be used in a word game. Players are likely tasked with conveying the taboo words' meanings without using the taboo words themselves or other prohibited terms based on the listed words. The goal seems to involve creatively describing taboo words while avoiding vocabulary restrictions.

SOCIAL SCIENCES IN DENTISTRY
This document discusses the relationship between social sciences and dentistry. It defines key terms from various social sciences like sociology, cultural anthropology, social psychology, economics, and political science. It explains how social environment, health behaviors, lifestyle, social norms, and culture can directly and indirectly impact individual and community health. The document also analyzes how social scientists can help design dental public health programs that are tailored to different social classes and address barriers to care like traditions, attitudes towards healthcare providers, and expectations of treatment.
Taboo language
- The document presents a study that hypothesized women use less taboo language than men.
- To test this, the researchers created a questionnaire asking about taboo word use in different contexts and administered it to people aged 16-53, mostly college students.
- The results showed that males reported using more taboo words like "fuck", "shit", and "twat" than females. However, some females still surprised the researchers with stronger language than expected.
- Overall, the data supported the hypothesis that females generally use less vulgar language than males. But the researchers note they could have better controlled variables like the gender ratio of respondents.
Relative Clauses - Adjective clauses
The document discusses adjective clauses and their usage. Some key points covered include:
- Adjective clauses modify nouns and come after the words they describe, unlike adjectives which come before.
- Various words can be used to introduce adjective clauses such as which, that, who, whose, when, where. The choice depends on whether the clause subject or object of a preposition.
- Punctuation like commas is sometimes used to distinguish essential and non-essential clauses, which can change the meaning.

Taboo iu
This document outlines various taboos in Chinese and American culture related to time, language, numbers, animals, and colors. It notes that while some taboos are shared between the cultures, such as views on punctuality, many differ significantly. For example, the number 4 is taboo in China due to its pronunciation, while 13 is considered unlucky in America. Owls symbolize wisdom in America but bad luck in China, and bats have opposite associations between the cultures. Colors like red and white also carry different meanings. Overall, the document explores both commonalities and differences in taboos between Chinese and American social norms.
