Week 12 Integration Question

Week 12:
HBSE/Macro: How can you determine what the formal and informal boundaries are in a community?
First I could research cultural differences to find out what is and is not appropriate. Many smaller communities have their own newspapers, often containing more items than what larger news organizations write about, such as events and small happenings. Just going out in the community could prove valuable as well by staying attentive to what others are wearing, their behaviors, manners, and other subtle signs.
Also, I could look for training on what is and is not appropriate, and search out stigma words. I can look for events going on in the local community. For example, they may have a day of the week that is a sacred day or certain days that may be celebrated for some reason.
