The idea
Mores are norms carrying moral significance, whose violation is treated as genuinely wrong rather than as merely improper or careless.
In practice
Taking another person's property breaks a more; the response is moral condemnation, not the embarrassment a folkway earns.
Where people slip
Mores and laws overlap without matching — much of each sits outside the other.
