Document Summary

Many athletes perform little rituals before each game. Canadian hockey legend wayne gretzky never got his hair cut while. To a degree, it helped relieve him anxiety and relax him playing on the road because the last time he did, his team lost objects that people create to deal with real-life problems. Sociologists define culture broadly as all the ideas, practices, and material. Culture enable people to adapt to, and thrive in, their environments. E. g. when the university student invent the ritual of preparing for exams by eating sausage and eggs arranged just so, she was creating culture in the sociological sense. This practice helped the student deal with the real-life problem. Sociologists call opera, ballet, art, and similar activities high culture. They distinguish high culture from popular culture/mass culture. High culture is culture consumed mainly by upper class. Popular culture (or mass culture) is culture consumed by all classes.
