I know what a folkway is, but I need to know why we have them, and what function do they serve in society.

Folkways are the customary way of doing things. With out folkways, we often find it difficult how to behave in a particular situation. In every social situation there are number of folkways that we are supposed to follow.. Understanding folkways make our everyday life much more easier. Suppose you are attending a marriage party, without understanding the folkways that you are expected to follow , it seems to be confusing what you should do to be more casual. Even though folkways seem to be simple, they make our lives much more in order.

Folkways is the style or way of common people. A symphony orchestra is elitist, rock and roll is folk
