Custom

A custom is a regular practice or tradition that a group or society follows over time. It includes behaviors, rituals, or ways of doing things that become part of their routine, culture, or identity. Customs help people feel connected and maintain social order, such as greeting with a handshake, celebrating specific festivals, or traditional dress. They are passed down through generations and can vary between different communities. Customs are not laws but social norms that influence behavior and reinforce shared values within a group.
