Tribal nature impacts on verbal and nonverbal levels
I think that tribal nature sets the standard for people. We all want to do what the "norm" is so we all follow our culture's verbal/nonverbal cues and look strangely at someone from another tribe's (culture's) verbal/nonverbal cues as unusual, strange, or even wrong. I do believe that we are "herd" people, and that we have a need to be accepted and that means doing what is acceptable by our herd.

What happens when an individual strays and become ethical?
I am sure that the strayed individual becomes an outcast to that particular tribe and may have to find another herd that he/she can belong to as well as have similar views.. I am not sure what you mean when you say "become ethical." Ethical in the sense that they are thinking for themselves..?? I need clarification..
Stray from the tribe as in doing the right thing. We sometimes made difficult decisions which make us outcasts.
Ethical as in doing the right thing.
I think that's a part of life for some to stray from the "herd". And what may be ethical to one may not be ethical to another- so it's all relative.
You do have a point. However, there is a level of tolerance.
