Answer the following in a couple of sentences

Cultural Variation

Although Cultures have many universal traits, there are groups that do not follow

every

norm within every society, these are called SUBCULTURES- groups that share values, norms, and behaviors that are not shared by the entire population

Examples

?

age, gender, ethnic, religious political, socioeconomic status & occupationalSlide29

Cultural Variation

subcultures share values with the wider culture they are a part of,

Counter Cultures

do not.Counterculture- subcultures whose practices, beliefs, norms and values are consciously intended to challenge the values and norms of wider societyExamples?Slide30

Perspectives on Culture

Functionalist

-

Culture reflects and enforces society’s central values. It encourages stability by integrating individuals into society.

Subcultures relieve discontent of subgroups

Ethnocentrism encourages group unity

Conflict

Culture reflects and enforces the values of those who hold power

It encourages and maintains social inequality

Subcultures and counter cultures challenge those in power

Ethnocentrism encourages discrimination against he powerless

Interactionism

Culture is maintained and modified through everyday social interactions

Interaction among subcultural groups helps to transmit customs and traditions and also introduces new cultural meaning systemsSlide31
