Document Summary

Culture is a learned set of shared interpretations about beliefs, values, norms and social practices, which affect the behaviours of a relatively large group of people. (l & k, 2010, pg. Cultural boundaries are often synonymous with national boundaries. Nation and culture are not the same. Nation is an artificial construct that is overlaid over a geopolitical region that tries to give the impression of coherent culture. Nation is an imagined political community and imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign. Imagined artificially created union, which presupposes a connection in act or creed in spite of the impossibility of engaging all citizens. Limited clearly defined boundaries laid out through legislation and / or conflict with neighbours. Sovereign responsible only to its own citizens, defending and protecting their own interests. Community imagined as fraternity; an equality that validates one"s belonging as peer. Israel arose out of a recognition of national identity for the jewish culture.

Cultural relativism is the practice of evaluating a culture by its own standards. Cultural relativism requires understanding unfamiliar values and norms as well as suspending cultural standards we have known all our lives. What do you think can be learned from cultural relativism when it comes to judging others?

While culture refers to the way of life of a group of people, a subculture is a culture within a culture. A subculture is a social world that can be based on anything that draws individuals together and that has a distinctive way of life, as our textbook explains. Cosplayers, Red Sox fans, bikers, and hip hop fans are all examples of subcultures. Even the workplace can have its own subculture.

In this discussion, begin by selecting a subculture that you have learned about or to which you have had exposure. You may have learned about the subculture through television, through news coverage, or through your peer groups. Describe the cultural beliefs and biases of your chosen subculture, as well as some of their norms and taboos. Are there any positive or negative sanctions that one might be subject to for conforming to or violating a social norm?
