Sub-Culture • Groups in society that share values, norms, and behaviors that are not shared by the entire population.
Counter-Culture • Groups that reject the major values, norms, and practices of the larger society.
Popular Culture Cultural activities or commercial products reflecting, suited to, or aimed at the tastes of the general masses of people. Sometimes referred to as “Low Culture”. Why? It is very accessible. Seems to be less complex and easy to understand, and therefore available to the masses.
High Culture The set of cultural products, mainly in the arts, held in the highest esteem by a culture. Culture of the Elite Not very accessible for most people. Seems more difficult and hard to understand.
High vs Low • Who gets to decide?
Folk Culture • Folk culture refers to the lifestyle of a culture. Historically, handed down through oral tradition, it demonstrates the "old ways" over novelty and relates to a sense of community. Folk culture is quite often imbued with a sense of place. • Folk Art is not influenced by movements in academic or fine art circles, and, in many cases, folk art does not include work made by professional artists and sold as "high art" or "fine art" to the society's art patrons.
