Taboos against pedophilia—which in recent years seems to have a lot of defenders and proponents trying to normalize it.

A lot of see-saw norms. Parental authority and rebellion against. Love of birthplace and yearning to leave. Marital steadfastness and independent thought. Basically everything family-related, micro and macro. They're stories.

Cheating, most likely. Also fundamental disagreements on religion surviving through different contexts.

they are stable, but I also don't think I view them as hotly contested either.
