Culture is composed of many aspects that affect individuals' lives. It includes beliefs, practices, values, and norms that are observed by different groups. There are various types of cultures like sub-cultures enjoyed by small groups, popular culture that is widely available, and high culture associated with elite social classes. Global culture has emerged due to trends like migration and media that connect people worldwide. Key aspects of culture are values, norms, food, clothing, religion, government, knowledge, arts, shelter, customs, traditions, and language.

Popular culture refers to expressive behaviors shared by a group that spread due to media, technology, and business partnerships. It plays an important role in societal evolution. Popular culture is produced collectively through interconnected individuals and consumed based on shared meanings attached within social contexts. It reflects ever-changing generational tastes in a way that is not tied to traditions and can be produced by anyone at any time.
Anthro30 7 characteristics of culture
This presentation shows the general characteristics of culture. These are shared, learned, based on symbols, integrated, and dynamic.
Cultural variability
While cultures vary greatly, they also share many similarities. The document discusses cultural universals, which are traits shared by all known cultures, such as bodily adornment and funeral rites. It also examines concepts like ethnocentrism, which is judging other cultures by one's own standards, and cultural relativity, the idea that what is considered right and wrong depends on the cultural context. Overall, the document explores the relationship between cultural universals and cultural variations.
Soc 208-1
This document discusses the relationship between individuals and society from a sociological perspective. It makes three key points:
1) To understand human experiences and behaviors, we must look beyond individual traits and examine broader social factors, as societal characteristics and trends can influence people's lives.
2) In order to explain why people act in certain ways, we need to understand the complex social environments they inhabit, which shape choices through forces like social norms, regulations, and global trends.
3) Seeing how social processes shape private lives is called "the sociological imagination," which allows us to recognize how personal issues are often products of larger societal forces, and that social change may be needed to address many problems over individual

Culture and society
This document discusses the definitions and concepts of culture and society. It defines culture as the customs, skills, knowledge and products that are shared and transmitted between generations in a social group. Culture can be classified as static or dynamic depending on how cultural patterns change over time. It also distinguishes between material culture like tools and houses, and non-material culture such as beliefs, folkways and morals. The document outlines characteristics of culture and its educational implications. It describes society as a group of people with shared purpose, culture and roles. Finally, it states that culture and society are interdependent but distinct, with society consisting of people and culture consisting of ideas and customs.
Characteristics of culture
Culture is learned, shared, cumulative, dynamic, and ideational. It consists of ideal patterns of behavior that are passed down from one generation to the next and shape how people act in different social roles. While cultures change over time as new ideas are incorporated and old ways discarded, culture provides a diverse range of acceptable behaviors and norms for how people should conduct different activities within a society.
Culture2
This document discusses key concepts in anthropological understanding of culture. It introduces practice theory, which recognizes that cultures shape individuals but individuals also influence cultural change. Culture exists at multiple levels, from national to subcultural. Ethnocentrism judges other cultures, while cultural relativism evaluates behaviors in their own cultural contexts. Mechanisms of cultural change include diffusion, acculturation, and independent invention. Globalization increasingly interlinks societies through economic, political, and communication forces.

Culture & types
This document discusses different types of culture, including:
1. High culture which includes fine arts, opera, and architecture held in high esteem by educated classes.
2. Popular culture which appeals to masses and includes trends, fashion, and artists like Frank Sinatra that were popular but are now forgotten.
3. Low culture which is a disparaging term for forms of popular culture appealing to masses, like pulp fiction, reality TV, and exploitation films.
4. Hybrid culture which is a mixture of elements from two or more cultures, as many people now enjoy both high art and popular culture.
5. Mass culture which refers to how culture is mass produced, distributed, and marketed to
Soc 210, 4 th class
This document discusses different types of cultural diffusion and how cultures spread. It defines cultural diffusion as the spread of cultural trends across locations through person-to-person transmission. There are several types of expansion diffusion where trends spread outward from their origin, including contagious, hierarchical, and stimulus diffusion. Relocation diffusion occurs when people migrate and share their culture in a new location. The document also discusses folk culture, popular culture, and how the internet has impacted the spread and blending of cultures. It concludes by explaining George Ritzer's concept of McDonaldization, where principles of efficiency, predictability, calculability and control from fast food restaurants have come to dominate many aspects of modern society.
Cultural variability's, uniformities and ethnocentrism
Culture can be defined as the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group. It includes knowledge, beliefs, arts, morals, laws, customs, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society. All cultures share some common aspects such as social organization into groups like families and social classes, customs and traditions, language, arts and literature, religion, forms of government, and economic systems. However, cultures also vary in important ways and viewing other cultures through one's own cultural lens can lead to ethnocentrism.
Soc 211, 6th class
This document discusses social stratification and class conflict. It defines social stratification as a system that ranks categories of people in a hierarchy. There are three major perspectives on why social stratification exists: structural functionalism, social conflict theory, and interactionism. Structural functionalists argue it benefits society, while conflict theorists believe it advantages some over others. The document also examines the relationship between popular culture and social class from sociological perspectives.
Sociopolitical evolution
This document discusses concepts related to cultural and sociopolitical evolution. It defines key terms like enculturation, norms, values, socialization, roles, status, conformity, deviance, social control, human dignity, human rights, and common good. Cultural evolution involves acquiring behaviors through teaching and imitation. Sociopolitical evolution leads to qualitatively different social structures over time, such as the Neolithic Revolution that introduced agriculture. Socialization helps individuals learn appropriate behaviors and viewpoints to participate in their society.
Culture, culture change, characteristics of culture
Culture refers to the complex whole of knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, morals, customs, and capabilities that are acquired by humans as members of society. It includes both material and non-material aspects such as shared rules of social behavior (norms), standards of desirability (values), customary behaviors (folkways and mores), and formal laws. Culture is always changing through processes such as invention, discovery, culture diffusion, and borrowing from other cultures. It is learned and transmitted between generations, though the degree and forms of transmission may vary between cultures.
Soc 210, 3 rd class
This document discusses the relationship between arts, media, sports, and popular culture. It defines art as manifestations of human creativity that take different forms across cultures. While art is separate from everyday life in Western cultures, it is integrated in non-Western societies. The document also examines how media is a major tool in creating and spreading popular culture globally through formats like television and sports broadcasting. It analyzes why the US and Brazil have differing Olympic medal counts, attributing the gap to differences in social mobility, stratification, and how each nation promotes and rewards athletic achievement.
Culture & Society
Culture can be defined as the sum of skills, beliefs, knowledge and products commonly shared and transmitted between generations in a group. It can be classified as static or dynamic based on its emphasis of cultural transmission or change, and as stable or unstable based on the satisfaction of folkways and mores or lack of clear content. Culture also serves important functions like communication, social cohesion, identity, education and human development. Society refers to a community that shares customs, laws and organizations within a region. While culture represents the meanings and information within social networks, society constitutes the system of relationships between people in a community.

Cultural anthropology is the study of human cultural variation. A key goal is to understand other cultures on their own terms rather than judging them based on one's own cultural standards. Culture is learned and shared among a group, and includes ideas, behaviors, and symbols. While culture influences biology, it is learned rather than genetically encoded. Anthropologists strive to approach other cultures with cultural relativism by understanding emic cultural perspectives. Participant observation and ethnography are core anthropological methods to immerse oneself in a culture.
Characteristics of culture
Culture is a product of human behavior that is transmitted through learning. It gratifies human needs and tends to integrate society. Culture is shared and learned among members of a social group through language and other symbols. It is not instinctive but acquired through experience. Culture is a social and ideational group product that gratifies human needs and adapts over time through processes like diffusion and convergence. Culture serves important functions like distinguishing societies and providing a basis for social solidarity.
culture defination and meaning
Culture refers to the shared behaviors, beliefs, and customs of a particular group. It includes knowledge, values, language, religion, and other habits learned and passed down through generations. Culture is defined as the complex whole of knowledge, beliefs, arts, morals, laws, and customs acquired by people as members of society. It consists of patterns of behaviors and symbols that are learned, transmitted, and provide meaning to a group of people. Some key characteristics of culture are that it is learned, social, shared, transmitted continuously and accumulatively over time in an integrated manner.
Culture
The document discusses the concept of culture and what comprises a culture. It notes that culture includes aspects like arts, beliefs, customs, institutions, inventions, language, technology, values, politics, and economy. It then asks and discusses questions about what languages people speak, what they wear, how they prepare food, where they live, their work, and how they govern themselves. The document emphasizes that culture is shared within a society and passed down between generations through processes like social learning via language, watching, and imitating behaviors.
Characteristics of culture
Culture has several key characteristics:
1. Culture is social and develops through interaction between members of a society. No individual can develop a culture in isolation.
2. Culture varies between societies and is unique to each society. Cultural elements like customs and beliefs differ.
3. Culture is shared and possessed by all members of a society. People in a society share customs, traditions, beliefs, and other cultural aspects.
Sociology
This document discusses key concepts in organizational culture and sociology. It defines organizational culture as shared assumptions, values and beliefs that influence behavior in organizations. Cultural traits are the smallest units of culture, such as objects, techniques, beliefs or attitudes that are passed between generations. Cultural complexes are groups of related cultural traits organized around a dominant trait, like a political party. Cultural patterns are collections of cultural complexes that are interrelated but not isolated. The document also discusses cultural lag, which is a gap between changing material culture like technology versus non-material culture like beliefs, which may change at different rates.
Sociocultural and political evolution
This document discusses the evolution of human societies from hunting and gathering to modern post-industrial societies. It outlines that as technology advanced, societies changed as well. Early societies like hunting and gathering groups relied on simple tools and family networks, while agricultural societies developed inequality, religion-backed elites, and money-based exchange. Industrialization led to rapid change through machinery, weakened community ties, and factories. Now, post-industrial societies are information-based, require less labor and more education, and focus on communication infrastructure, innovation, and solving global problems with technology. It also examines the evolution of early civilizations like Sumerian, Indus Valley, Shang, and Egyptian, which developed complex institutions, social classes
Culture power point

Culture presentation
Culture can be defined as the shared beliefs, values, customs, and artifacts that help a group of people cope with the world and each other. It is transmitted between generations through learning. There are different types of culture, including symbolic, material, social, folk, and political cultures. Acculturation is the process where one cultural group adopts beliefs and behaviors of another dominant group through things like language change and social group membership. Alternative and countercultures exist outside mainstream culture, while subcultures have distinct cultures within a larger culture. Postmodern theorists argue that characteristics of modern societies like universal progress, large corporations, and nation states are declining, while new social movements and diversified small companies are on the rise.

Humans acquire culture through the LEARNING PROCESSES of enculturation and socialization, which is shown by the diversity of cultures across societies.
1 what is culture
Culture consists of learned patterns of behavior, knowledge, and beliefs that are shared by members of a society. It facilitates interaction between humans and their environment. Culture is transmitted between generations through social learning and is both explicit and implicit. It includes beliefs, values, norms, and institutionalized ways of living that provide solutions to problems of survival. While culture is shared within groups, it is also dynamic and can adapt to changes over time.
Culture Change
This document defines and discusses key concepts related to culture, including that culture is learned, shared, symbolic, and all-encompassing. It also examines how culture is integrated and can be both adaptive and maladaptive. The document discusses how culture is transmitted through enculturation and diffusion, and how contact between cultures can lead to acculturation or resistance to change through processes like ethnocentrism. Overall, the document provides a comprehensive overview of how culture is defined and changes over time through various social and environmental factors.
Culture and Society
Culture refers to the behaviors, customs, and way of life of a society or group. It includes both tangible aspects like objects and symbols, as well as intangible aspects like beliefs, ideas, and values. Every culture is defined by what is considered important and desirable, as well as social norms that embody cultural values. The transmission of culture over time occurs through socialization, where children learn the behaviors and ways of life of their society from family and other social institutions like schools. Different cultures may have conflicting or contradictory values, and encountering new cultures can feel disorienting due to the loss of familiar social norms.
CULTURE- SOCIOLOGY
The document discusses the concept of culture from several perspectives, including definitions of culture, the nature and types of culture, components that make up culture like symbols and values, how culture evolves and is transmitted between groups, and how culture relates to concepts like socialization and the development of a trans-cultural society. It provides an overview of key aspects of culture through examining views from various scholars and exploring how culture functions in societies.
Presentation (2).pptx
Culture can be defined as the acquired knowledge, beliefs, arts, and customs that are shared and passed down by members of a society. It includes aspects like language, religion, social norms, and other practices. A key part of culture is socialization - the process by which people are trained to be part of their society and adopt its values and behaviors from an early age through various socializing agents. Culture plays an important role in socialization by defining situations, providing a base for social norms, transforming individuals, and shaping attitudes. A transcultural society is one in which multiple cultures interact and blend together, resulting in cultural exchange and the emergence of new shared values across national and cultural boundaries.
Culture
The document discusses the concept of culture, defining it as the cumulative knowledge, experiences, beliefs, values, and behaviors shared by a group of people. It outlines several theories related to culture, including cultural determinism and cultural relativism. It also discusses how culture manifests itself at different levels of depth from superficial symbols to deeper values. Finally, it notes there are multiple layers of culture that can exist for an individual, including national, regional, gender, generational, social class, and corporate levels.

The document discusses the concept of culture from a sociological perspective. It provides definitions of culture from several anthropologists and sociologists such as Tylor, Linton, Goodenough, and Geertz. Culture is described as the shared patterns of behavior, beliefs, and worldviews that are learned and transmitted between generations within human societies. The key characteristics of culture outlined include that culture is learned, unconscious, shared, integrated across different domains like kinship and religion, and symbolic in nature. Culture provides a lens that shapes how individuals perceive and evaluate the world.

Culture is a complex concept that refers to the learned behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that are shared by a society. It includes material and non-material aspects that are acquired through socialization and transmission across generations. A culture consists of various components like symbols, language, values, folkways, mores, customs, and laws. Cultures are diverse due to geographical and other factors, but also share some uniformity. Culture is passed on through socialization and influences how people think and behave. Modern societies are increasingly transcultural as elements of different cultures combine and interact due to factors like globalization.
UNDERSTANDING CULTURE.pptx
Social science is the study of society and human behavior. It includes fields like anthropology, economics, political science, psychology, and sociology that examine how people interact and influence the world. Social science provides information to help understand issues like unemployment, economic growth, voting behaviors, and what makes people happy. It informs governments, organizations, and policymakers. Studying social science increases understanding of issues beyond one's own experiences and how society functions.
Sociology: culture
Culture is a complex concept that includes knowledge, beliefs, arts, morals, customs, and habits acquired by people in society. It is learned rather than inherited, and transmitted between generations through socialization. A culture consists of both material aspects like housing and diet as well as non-material aspects like values and beliefs. Cultures are diverse due to geographical and other factors but also share some uniformity. Socialization is how culture is learned and shapes people's behaviors, roles, and personality to fit within a society. Modern societies are increasingly transcultural as elements of different cultures interact and influence each other.
sociology- nature, types, evolution, information
Culture can be defined as the beliefs, values, and behaviors shared by a group. It is learned through socialization and transmitted between generations. A culture consists of both material and non-material aspects. Material culture includes objects like housing and food, while non-material culture contains concepts like values and religion. Cultures evolve over time in response to their environments and are diverse between different groups, though some uniformity exists within societies. Socialization is how culture is passed from one generation to the next through teaching cultural norms and roles. As societies become more interconnected, elements of different cultures can blend, creating transcultural societies.
Introduction to Social Sciences
Culture refers to the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, including their language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and art. It is shared and transmitted between members of a group. A culture represents the beliefs and practices of a society, while society represents the people who share those beliefs and practices. Culture consists of both material aspects like objects and structures, as well as nonmaterial aspects like ideas, attitudes, and beliefs. Culture plays an important role in human societies by defining groups and contributing to how people interact and organize. Cultural change can occur due to factors like technological changes, environmental changes, new ideas, and the diffusion of customs between groups.

The Nature of Culture
The Brief Definition
Culture is that which is learned, shared,
and transmitted
– Learning: we are taught culture, as opposed
to it being instinctual or purely biological
– Shared: culture is a characteristic of groups.
An individual’s learned behaviors are not
cultural unless others share them.
– Transmitted: Cultural behaviors are multi-
generational, often lasting for hundreds or
thousands of years.
A Brief History of Culture
Since Homo habilis, if not before, hominins
have been cultural (over 2 million years)
Culture was, and is a means of adaptation
Culture is, to some extent, a solution to
problems and cultural differences
throughout the world are rooted in different
problems and/or different solutions to
similar problems
Culture is learned
The process of learning culture is called
“Enculturation”
The “Mama Theory”: culture is how your
mama raises you
Human behavior is malleable and any
infant can be enculturated into any culture
Culture is Shared
By definition culture is about groups of people
Those groups can be of varying scales
– Societies: a group of people who interact with each
other on a regular basis
Societies are groups, culture is something that binds them
together
– Smaller groups: ethnic groups, religious groups, kin
groups
– These smaller groups may possess distinctive forms
of behavior, belief, speech, etc. that we can define as
a sub-culture
Sub-Cultures
Sub-cultures always stand in a relationship to
the broader (society-wide) dominant culture
Examples: In greater LA we might
(hypothetically)identify sub-cultures defined by
ethnicity, such as Latino culture, African
American culture, Armenian culture, etc. Each
of these articulates with the others through
intersection with the dominant culture, which,
arguably, is based on Western European
cultural traditions such as the use of English for
most official business.
Culture is transmitted
Learning is transmission, but learning over
generations builds cultural traditions
Not just what is learned, but how it is learned is
part of culture
Sources of learning (agents of enculturation may
include
– Observation
– Oral history
– Formal schools
– apprenticeships
– Public media (TV, movies, advertising, music,
literature)
Culture: The Long definition
Tylor (1871)
– “Culture is that complex whole, which includes
knowledge, belief, art, morals, custom and
any other capabilities acquired by man (sic)
as a member of society
Culture is Integrated
Culture isn’t transmitted piecemeal, but
more commonly as a whole package
Economics, social organization,
subsistence, politics, religion, all fit
together (the key insight of the
functionalist school).
Even when we study aspects of culture in
isolation, it is important to remember the
constitution of the whole
Ethnocentrism and Cultural
Relativism
Ethnocentrism is the belief that your own culture
is su ...
Cultural forces
The document discusses several topics related to culture and society:
1. It defines global citizenship as the concept of an overarching world government system where all humans are joined as citizens of Earth, superseding national citizenships.
2. It explains that heritage refers to aspects of culture inherited from past generations, including tangible artifacts and intangible attributes maintained and passed down.
3. It provides characteristics of culture, noting it is learned and shared, social, ideational, adaptive, and cumulative. Culture fulfills human needs and is transmitted through language.
