- Analyze the importance of cultural transmission, particularly in terms of learning styles
-
- Animal culture refers to cultural learning in non-human animals through socially transmitted behaviors.
- Animal culture refers to cultural learning in non-human animals through socially transmitted behaviors.
- This process, most agree, involves the social transmission of a novel behavior, both among peers and between generations.
- The acquisition and sharing of behaviors correlates directly to the existence of memes, which are defined as "units of cultural transmission" by the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins.
- Darwin was also the first to suggest what became known as 'social learning' in explaining the transmission of an adaptive behavior pattern throughout a population of honey bees.
-
- How do sociologists study culture?
- One approach to studying culture falls under the label 'cultural sociology', which combines the study of culture with cultural understandings of phenomena.
- Not surprisingly, cultural conflict is an optimal scenario for the exploration of culture and cultural interaction.
- First, he found a cultural border that presented cultural conflict.
- Additionally, Anderson observed both the transmission of culture from generation to generation (i.e., socialization, but also the self-representation that is provided by cultural expressions (clothing, behavior, etc).
-
- This is referred to as "overimitation" and, while seemingly maladaptive from an evolutionary perspective, it is possible that this is one of the characteristics of humans that facilitates the transmission of culture from generation to generation.
- Rather than referring to a vague adoption or learning of culture, Long and Hadden reframed socialization as "the medium for transforming newcomers into bona fide members of a group. " Before discussing some of the specifics of this approach, it may be useful to outline some of the critiques Long and Hadden present of earlier approaches to socialization.According to Long and Hadden, many earlier approaches to socialization extended socialization to every part of human social life.

- Cultural racial discrimination, a variation of structural racism, occurs when the assumption of inferiority of one or more races is built into the culture of a society.
- In this perspective, racism is an expression of culture and is also passed on through the transmission of culture (i.e., socialization).
- The figure below illustrates how historical racism has resulted in lower odds of inter-generational transmission of wealth, which, in turn, reduces net worth for racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S.Historical racism also relies upon the ongoing "whitening" of social history by educational, political, and economic elites.
- In so doing, elites construct an American storyline that absolves contemporary white citizens from the ongoing historical construction and maintenance of racial disparities embedded within American history, culture, and structure.
- Cultural Racism - drawing on cultural based beliefs and arguments to explain racial inequalities in contemporary society (e.g., blacks have too many babies or Mexicans are just like that)

- Media and particular cultural-historical conditions may facilitate a rumor's diffusion.
-
- Material culture consists in physical objects that humans make.
- People's relationship to and perception of objects are socially and culturally dependent.
- This view of culture, which came to dominate anthropology between World War I and World War II, implied that each culture was bounded and had to be understood as a whole, on its own terms.
- The result is a belief in cultural relativism, which suggests that there are no 'better' or 'worse' cultures, just different cultures .
- They constitute an increasingly significant part of our material culture.
-
- A cultural universal is an element, pattern, trait, or institution that is common to all human cultures worldwide.
- Cultural universals are elements, patterns, traits, or institutions that are common to all human cultures worldwide.
- There is a tension in cultural anthropology and cultural sociology between the claim that culture is a universal (the fact that all human societies have culture), and that it is also particular (culture takes a tremendous variety of forms around the world).
- The idea of cultural universals—that specific aspects of culture are common to all human cultures—runs contrary to cultural relativism.
- Discuss cultural universals in terms of the various elements of culture, such as norms and beliefs
-
- Culture is what differentiates one group or society from the next; different societies have different cultures.
- Different societies have different cultures; however it is important not to confuse the idea of culture with society.
- Material and nonmaterial aspects of culture are linked, and physical objects often symbolize cultural ideas.
