  2. Today’s Objective • To understand the three basic principles of the Sociocultural Level of Analysis.

Society is something that precedes the individual. Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of society, is either a beast or a god. ” ― Aristotle

  5. Principle #2 • Culture influences human behavior. • Culture: norms and values that define a society.
