What is an example of a cultural norm?

Wearing jeans to school
Screaming in public
Laughing out loud
Jumping in public

The correct answer is: Laughing out loud

An example of a cultural norm is a behavior or action that is commonly accepted and practiced among a specific group of people in a given society. While all of the options listed may be behaviors that individuals engage in, only laughing out loud is seen as an accepted and expected social behavior in most cultures. Wearing jeans to school, screaming in public, and jumping in public are all actions that may not be universally accepted and can vary based on cultural norms and expectations. Therefore, option C is the best example of a cultural norm.
