Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cultural sanctions are penalties or consequences associated with performing a behavior that goes against cultural norms and values. These sanctions can be positive (rewarding) or negative (punishing), but in this case, the question specifically mentions penalties associated with performing a non-gratifying or culturally inconsistent behavior, which implies a negative sanction. Therefore, the best answer is A) sanctions. Norms refer to established rules or guidelines for behavior within a society, while punishments and sentences are specific forms of negative sanctions. Penance is not commonly used in this context.
