Answers may vary, but students should explain that society and our cultures have made certain rules to govern what is considered civilized.

In the context of a dating relationship, the partners may agree that they will always let the other know if they need to cancel (obligated), they should let the other know if they are running late (preferred), and they will not text with their exes (prohibited).
