What is NOT an example of cultural norms?

  1. Refrigerators are often white

  2. Hold the door open for others

  3. Eating with a fork

  4. Belief in a higher being

The correct answer is: Refrigerators are often white

Cultural norms are unwritten rules and behaviors that are widely accepted in a particular society or group. They can include specific customs, traditions, and habits such as eating with a fork or holding the door open for others. Belief in a higher being refers to a religious or spiritual practice which can also be considered a cultural norm. However, the color of a refrigerator is not a cultural norm as it has no cultural significance or impact on society. Thus, option A is not an example of cultural norm.
