A taboo is a strong social prohibition (or ban) against words, objects, actions, or discussions that are considered undesirable or offensive by a group, culture, society, or community. Breaking a taboo is usually considered objectionable or abhorrent. Some taboo activities or customs are prohibited by law and transgressions may lead to severe penalties. Other taboos result in embarrassment, shame and rudeness.
Taboos can include:
-dietary restrictions (halal and kosher diets, religious vegetarianism ...
-restrictions on exposure of body parts .
-taboos on illicit drugs, substance abuse and addictions to legal drugs such as alcohol (alcoholism)
-restrictions on the use of offensive language
-restriction on gestures
-taboo on slavery
