As Californians, we understand that in certain situations there are often unspoken "rules" which we must follow. There are particular attitudes, beliefs, and practices here that may differ from a place, like Illinois or Georgia. For example, we understand that driving a gas-guzzling car here might inspire frowns from fellow Californians. Or that using a gay slur in mixed company risks ostracization. And we typically understand that being too preachy about one's religion can turn people off. Californians can even be judgmental about smoking, too. What other social rules exist in California? When are they explicit and when are they implicit? Were they explained to you at some point? How do you know what is and is not okay in social situations in California? Finally, how are we kept in line and what happens when we break these social rules? For this journal, write about the social rules of California.
