Drew, C. (May 25, 2021). 65 Examples of Taboos (Cultural, Religious & Food) . Helpful Professor. https://helpfulprofessor.com/taboo-examples-cultural-religious-food/
A taboo is an action that is frowned upon and considered inappropriate to practice or even talk about within a cultural group. A synonym of taboo is prohibition.
The word taboo stems from the Tongan word tabu or tapu , which roughly translates to ‘forbidden’. Captain James Cook learned about taboos on his 18th Century exploratory trips through the pacific and brought the term back to England.
While some taboos are legally enforceable, others are simply considered to be poor taste. In fact, most taboos are enforced not by governments but by subtle social signals that demonstrate disapproval of taboo behaviors.
This makes taboo very difficult for new immigrants to a society. They have to learn taboos that are often not explicitly taught or discussed, making it difficult to know what is and is not considered appropriate within their new society.
There are 3 Types of Taboos: cultural, religious, and food.
Cultural, religious and food taboos are not mutually exclusive. Some cultural taboos get their cues from religions that are dominant within a cultural group. Similarly, food taboos are enforced in many religious texts.
Below, I’ll provide examples of each type of taboo.
A cultural taboo is something that is considered inappropriate within a cultural group. While this overlaps with religious taboos, some cultures are governed more by social norms than religious norms. For example, western culture has a diversity of religions, but a unified set of cultural taboos.
In sociology, you’ll learn that taboos are just one of four types of norm (you might come across these if you’re studying AP Sociology). The other three are mores , laws, and folkways .
A religious taboo is something that is banned by a religion. They usually stem from the religion’s founding documents (such as the Bible, Torah, or Quran) and include rules designed to protect civil behavior and hygiene.
In Islam, things that are banned are called ‘Haram’. Similarly, in Judaism, ‘Kosher’ guidelines dictate how food should be prepared.
A food taboo is something forbidden or considered inappropriate in relation to food, drink and eating. They are often dictated by religious or cultural beliefs about what is okay and what is not okay.
Unfortunately, cultural, religious and food taboos are different around the world. While some are almost universal (like moral taboos like cheating and stealing), others are very specific to countries or regional cultural groups.
Regularly, taboos rely on appeal to tradition for them to carry on. In other words, there’s no reason that the taboos still exist except that it’s traditional in those societies.
The best thing to do is to research in advance before you go somewhere so you know what the cultural etiquette rules will be before you arrive.

czyli znana gra Taboo w temacie “Szkoła” po angielsku.
How to play?
Taboo is a party game, but it may be easily adapted in class and played by your students. Here you have one of two possible options to choose: with paper cards or with cards online, which are actually pages of a book. Students should be split up into two groups. Players take turns and describe a word or phrase on a card to their representative whose task is to guess the word or phrase. Each card has a set of three forbidden words the players are not allowed to use in their descriptions. Students in the opposing group watch a timer and use a buzzer to stop the game when the time has finished. The players are also buzzed if any forbidden words are used or if players make gestures. The team gets a point for each card they guessed successfully within the limited time period. If you take the option with cards online, then the player, who is supposed to guess the word or phrase, should stand facing the students and not the board on which the card is shown.
