Abstract
In the modern-day, the term taboo is familiar in society. Taboo is defined as a strong cultural warning or prohibition against an action, word, and behavior. Taboos emerge in society regarding religion, society, law, and even because ecological. Taboos are frequently classified as "sacred" acts; thus, breaking taboos is a serious deviant act that may lead to feelings of shame and guilt as well as indirect or direct negative repercussions from society. Many people believe and follow taboos. There are several reasons why taboos are still trusted and followed by the community because taboos are supported by cultural traditions and religious norms, and taboos are a socially approved practice for a long time. However, sometimes the taboos are not logical and irrational. Nevertheless, taboos are still used in society. Even though the taboos abuse science in modern aspects today. In this paper, I would like to elaborate on why taboos still exist and are still appreciated today.
