Chapter 3, Culture Culture and Society Components of Culture Technology, Cultural Change and Diversity A Global Popular Culture? Sociological Analysis of Culture

Culture and Society Culture is essential for individual survival and communication with other people. Culture is essential for the survival of societies. Culture is “tool kit “ for survival.

Components of Culture Symbols Language Values Norms

Language and Gender English language uses the masculine form to refer to human beings in general, ignoring women. The pronouns he and she show the gender of the person we expect to be in a particular occupation or role.

Language and Gender Words have positive connotations when relating to male power, prestige, and leadership and negative ones when relating to women. Language-based predispositions to think about women in sexual terms reinforces the notion that women are sexual objects.

Core American Values Individualism Achievement and success Activity and work Science and technology Progress and material comfort.

Core American Values Efficiency and practicality Equality Morality and humanitarianism Freedom and liberty Racism and group superiority

Forms of Popular Culture Fad - temporary but widely copied activity followed by large numbers of people. Objects - Beanie Babies,Furby’s, Activities: surfing the net Ideas: New Age ideologies Personality: celebrities Fashion- style of behavior, thinking or appearance.

Functional Perspective of Culture Culture helps people meet needs: Biological needs (food and procreation) Instrumental needs - law and education Integrative needs - religion and art

Conflict Perspective of Culture Assumes that social life is a continuous struggle in which members of powerful groups seek to control scarce resources. Stresses how cultural values and norms perpetuate social inequalities.

Symbolic Interactionist Perspective of Culture People create, maintain and modify culture ad they go about everyday activities. Values and norms are reinterpreted in each social situation. Does not provide a framework for how we shape culture and how it shapes us.

Postmodern Perspectives on Culture World of culture is based on simulation, not reality. No single perspective can grasp the complexity and diversity of the social world.
