socio-cultural affordances

Socio-cultural affordances are the opportunities and possibilities for action or interaction that are shaped by society's shared norms, values, and cultural context. They influence how individuals behave, communicate, and collaborate within a community or environment. For example, a handshake is an affordance in many cultures indicating greeting or agreement, while certain gestures or language are appropriate in specific social settings. These affordances guide our behavior based on cultural cues, making social interactions predictable and meaningful within a given context.
