Summary

Taboo topics are sacred or prohibited based on morals, religion or social norms. Learn how to respond to taboo topics and the significance of context when it comes to taboos. What’s considered taboo depends on the time in history, the generation, the person, the setting, even the medium. People seem to feel more comfortable reading or listening and less comfortable talking about taboos!   TABOO SUMMARY   DEFINITION of TABOO * Taboo topics are “unacceptable,” “prohibited,” “disallowed,” and/or “forbidden.” * Taboos are words or behaviours that are sacred or prohibited based on morals, religion, or norms. CONTEXT IS KEY FOR TABOOS What’s considered taboo depends on the time in history, the generation, the person, the setting, even the medium. * Time in history: Consider how racism evolved from being a taboo topic altogether, to being something that is commonly and explicitly discussed. (Other previously taboo topics: living together or having a child outside of marriage, phone calls after 9pm, girls wearing pants, tattoos, sexuality and particularly LGBTQ+,…) * Generations & people: Consider what’s sacred to talk to our kids about vs what’s sacred in conversations with our parents. * The setting: Consider what’s sacred to talk about at work versus what’s sacred in conversations at the dinner table. * The medium: We might feel more comfortable reading or listening, and less comfortable talking about taboos 20 COMMONLY REFERENCED TABOO TOPICS * ABORTION * BODILY FUNCTIONS & EXCREMENT * CANNIBALISM * CO-WORKERS * DEATH & DYING * FOREIGN POLICY * GOSSIP * INCEST * JOB-CHANGING * MARITAL ISSUES * MEDICAL/HEALTH PROBLEMS * MENTAL HEALTH * MONEY * PROFANITY * POLITICS * RELIGIOUS BELIEFS * SALARIES * SEX & SEXUALITY * SOMEONE ELSE’S SPOUSE * SUICIDE 4 RESPONSES TO TABOO TOPICS * Smile and nod… * Call it out * Listen and learn * Change the subject!
