Social concept related to culture

CULTURE

 Culture consists of the beliefs, behaviors, objects, and other characteristics

common to the members of a particular group or society. Through culture,
people and groups define themselves, conform to society's shared values, and
contribute to society. Thus, culture includes many societal aspects: language,
customs, values, norms, morss, rules, tools, technologies,
products,Organisation and institutions

 Sociologists define society as the people who interact in such a way as to

share a common culture. The cultural bond may be ethnic or racial, based on
gender, or due to shared beliefs, values, and activities. The term society can
also have a geographic meaning and refer to people who share a common
culture in a particular location. For example, people living in arctic climates
developed different cultures from those living in desert cultures.

INDIVIDUAL STATUS AND ROLE IN
ASOCIETY
 Status is our relative social position within a group, while a role is the party
our society expects us to play in a given status.•

 For example, a man may have the status of father in his family. Because of
this status, he is expected to fulfill a role for his children that in most
societies requires him to nurture, educate, guide, and protect them. Of
course, mothers usually have complementary roles.
TYPES OF STATUS

 Achieved statuses are ones that are acquired by doing something. For
instance, someone becomes a criminal by committing a crime. A soldier earns
the status of a good warrior by achievements in battle and by being brave. A
woman becomes a mother by having a baby. She also can acquire the status
of widow by the death of her husband.
 Ascribed statuses are the result of being born into a particular family or being
born male or female. being a prince by birth or being the first of four children
in a family are ascribed statuses. We do not make a decision to chose them

SOCIAL INTERACTION•

 A social interaction is an exchange between two or more individuals and is a

building block of society. Social interaction can be studied between groups of
two (dyads), three (triads) or larger social groups
 .• By interacting with one another, people design rules, institutions and
systems within which they seek to live. Symbols are used to communicate the
expectations of a given society to those new to it.
SOCIAL INTERACTION

 social interaction requires a mutual orientation. The spying of one on another

is not social interaction if the other is unaware. Nor do the behaviors of rapist
and victim constitute social interaction if the victim is treated as a physical
object; nor behavior between guard and prisoner, torturer and tortured,
machine gunner and enemy soldier. Indeed, wherever people treat each other
as object, things, or animals, or consider each other as reflex machines or
only cause-effect phenomena, there is not social interaction. Such interaction
may comprise a system; it may be organized, controlled, or regimented. It is
not, however, social as lam using the term.
CULTURE

 The word 'culture' hails from the Latin word cultura which is derived from
colere that means, 'to cultivate'. Our culture has a major share in cultivating
our minds. The common traits and beliefs that form the mindset of a group,
define their culture.
 Culture refers to the patter of human activity and the symbols that give
significance to them. Culture manifests itself in the forms of art, literature,
clothing, customs, language, and religion. The way people live and what they
believe constitutes their culture.Their principles and moral values also form
an important part of their culture. People from different parts of the world
have different cultural values.Cultural differences contribute to the diversity
in people's thinking and living styles.I

CULTURAL DIVERSITY INE DUCATION

 Because the idea of "diversity" is not even that straightforward. Not only must
schools recognize diversity evident among broad racial and ethnic groups
(c.g., Asian or Hispanic), but the diversity within these groups must be
recognized as well. For example Chinese and Japanese students may share
common cultural characteristics as a result of being Asian, but will also have
distinctly Chinese and Japanese cultural characteristics that differ from each
otherand culture
