Document Summary
Soc 107 - lecture 1 - jan 24, 2017. Gender, morality/ethics, success/productive citizen, religion, intelligence, beauty. Canadians are born into an exceedingly complex culture. Knowledge, attitudes, values, beliefs, customs and morals shared by members of a society. Ex: sports culture, pop culture, ryerson culture, work culture. Culture becomes so familiar to us at an early age that we tend to take it for granted. Everyday life seems to be a reality that rarely requires explanation. We generally know which behaviours are proper in a given situation. Defined as social convention or norms which make up the rules for acceptable behaviours. Know from being told, experience, the media, learning, socialization, social institutions. Tell us what to do, control society, lend order. Everyone share a consensus about many conventions. The study of spatial conventions or norms regarding space between people in everyday behaviours has been labeled proxemics. Territoriality the physical invisible space/marker around you.
