Final Answer :
At the technical level,the rules for cultural and nonverbal behaviors are openly known and easily stated by most citizens of a particular culture.The rules and their rationales are deliberately taught.When a technical rule or behavior is broken unintentionally,little emotion is involved in pointing out and correcting the mistake.
At the formal level,the rules are clearly stated and known,but the reasons for the rules are not.Formal rules are extremely important,and people who question them are not viewed as team players.Formal rules based on tradition change slowly,but they do change.
At the informal level,neither rules for behavior nor reasons for the rules are taught.Rules are unconsciously learned by imitation (modeling)and taken for granted.People are not always aware that these behaviors are dictated by rules,but violations can lead to discomfort or withdrawal.
