“The Fine Print” refers to a set of codes that influence how we navigate cultural conventions. The title describes how we traverse spaces and informs our awareness of race, class, religion, gender, the environment, social normative behaviors and interpersonal relationships. We examine these cultural standards, or the ‘fine print,’ as they can undermine our conscious behavior and shape etiquette within society.
