C ULTURAL V ARIATION Chapter 2, Section 2

C OMMON F EATURES OF C ULTURE Cultures are vastly different, even though societies all have the same basic needs to meet. Features common to all cultures are known as cultural universals. Societies meet these features differently, depending on biological features and environment. George Murdock (anth.) came up with a list of over 65 of these. While they may look different, their purpose is similar across cultures.

S OCIETAL V ARIATIONS Margaret Mead (anth.) conducted a study in the 1930s to determine whether temperament resulted from inherited characteristics or cultural influence. Mead looked at two societies from Papua New Guinea– The Arapesh and Mundugumor.

T HE T WO S OCIETIES Arapesh Cotented, gentle, nonagressive. Both men and women are involved in childcare Children are raised by many, and taught to take out their aggressions w/o harming others. Mundugumor Aggressive Men and women are both competitive and jealous Hostility between own family members

M EAD ’ S F INDINGS Conclusion: Temperament resulted more from culture than inherited traits. Differences between the two societies were much greater than between men and women of the same tribe  that’s from which she based her conclusion.

S TUDYING V ARIATION When examining other cultures, it can be tempting to draw inaccurate conclusions based on our own biases. Ethnocentrism= the tendency to view one’s own group as superior. Cultural relativism= belief that cultures should be judged by their own standards rather than applying them to the standards of another.

V ARIATION WITHIN S OCIETY Subculture= a group of individuals who share values, norms and behaviors not shared by the entire population. Edwin Sutherland. Benefits? Society is dependent on subcultures to provide different functions. Subcultures make societies more open to change. Counterculture= rejection of major values, norms, and practices and replacement with own. Ex: Anarchists, organized crime families, Hippies
