Culture and Socialization > Culture and Society Culture and Biology • Culture is the shared values, norms, symbols, language, objects, and way of life that is passed on from one generation to the next. • Values are defined standards of what is good, bad, desirable, or undesirable for ourselves and others. • In addition to culture, humans have biological needs, which include innate urges like hunger that, if left unattended, can result in death. • Because of our biology and genetics, we have a particular form and we have certain abilities. These set essential limits on the variety of activities that humans can express culture, but there is still enormous diversity in this expression. • Culture refers to the way we understand ourselves as individuals and as members of society, including stories, religion, media, rituals, and even language itself. • Social Darwinism was the belief that the closer a cultural group was to the normative Western European standards of behavior and appearance, the more evolved they were. • Culture is the non-biological or social aspects of human life. • Culture refers to the way we understand ourselves as individuals and as members of society, including stories, religion, media, rituals, and even language itself. • Social Darwinism hinged on the belief that the closer cultural groups were to the normative Western European standards of behavior and appearance, the more evolved they were.

Culture and Socialization > Culture and Society Culture and Society • Different societies have different cultures; a culture represents the beliefs and practices of a group, while society represents the people who share those beliefs and practices. • Material culture refers to the objects or belongings of a group of people (such as automobiles, stores, and the physical structures where people worship). Nonmaterial culture, in contrast, consists of the ideas, attitudes, and beliefs of a society. • In 18th and 19th century Europe, the term "culture" was equated with civilization and considered a unique aspect of Western society. Remnants of that colonial definition of culture can be seen today in the idea of "high culture". • During the Romantic Era, culture became equated with nationalism and gave rise to the idea of multiple national cultures. • Today, social scientists understand culture as a society's norms, values, and beliefs, as well as its objects and symbols -- and the meaning given to those objects and symbols.

Culture and Socialization > Culture and Society Cultural Universals • Cultural universals are elements common to all human cultures, regardless of historical moment, geography, or cultural origin. • There is a tension in cultural anthropology and cultural sociology between the claim that culture is a universal and that it is also particular.The idea of cultural universals runs contrary in some ways to cultural relativism which was, in part, a response to Western ethnocentrism. • Ethnocentrism may take obvious forms.For example, the belief that one people's culture is the most beautiful and true.Franz Boas understood "culture" to include not only certain tastes in food, art, and music, or beliefs about religion but instead assumed a much broader notion of culture. • Among the cultural universals listed by Donald Brown (1991) are figurative speech, binary cognitive distinctions, color terms, tabooed utterances, kin groups, gender roles, rites of passage, incest prevention or avoidance, and tool making, among others. • Among the cultural universals listed by Brown, some were investigated by Franz Boas. For example, Boas saw language as a means of categorizing experiences. Thus, although people may perceive visible radiation similarly, people who speak different languages slice up the continuum in different ways. • Since Franz Boas, two debates have dominated cultural anthropology.

Culture and Socialization > Culture and Society Culture Shock • Culture shock is the disoriented feeling that occurs in the context of being in a new culture. • Culture shock can be described as consisting of at least one of four distinct phases: honeymoon, negotiation, adjustment, and mastery. • During the honeymoon phase, the differences between the old and new culture are seen in a romantic light. • After some time (usually around three months, depending on the individual), differences between the old and new culture become apparent and may create anxiety. This is the mark of the negotiation phase. • In the adjustment phase, one grows accustomed to the new culture and develops routines. • Lastly, in the mastery stage, assignees are able to participate fully and comfortably in the host culture. • In the Adjustment phase, one grows accustomed to the new culture and develops routines. • One knows what to expect in most situations and the host country no longer feels all that new. • Lastly, in the Mastery stage, assignees are able to participate fully and comfortably in the host culture.

Culture and Socialization > Culture and Society Ethnocentrism and Cultural Relativism • Ethnocentrism often entails the belief that one's own race or ethnic group is the most important or that some or all aspects of its culture are superior to those of other groups. • Within this ideology, individuals will judge other groups in relation to their own particular ethnic group or culture, especially with concern to language, behavior, customs, and religion. • Cultural relativism is the belief that the concepts and values of a culture cannot be fully translated into, or fully understood in, other languages; that a specific cultural artifact (e.g., a ritual) has to be understood in terms of the larger symbolic system of which it is a part. • Cultural relativism is the idea that all norms, beliefs, and values are dependent on their cultural context, and should be treated as such. • Cultural relativism is the idea that all norms, beliefs, and values are dependent on their cultural context, and should be treated as such.

Culture and Socialization > Culture and Society Material Culture • Studying a culture's relationship to materiality is a lens through which social and cultural attitudes can be discussed.People's relationship to and perception of objects are socially and culturally dependent. • A view of culture as a symbolic system with adaptive functions, varying from place to place, led anthropologists to conceive of different cultures as having distinct patterns of enduring conventional sets of meaning. • Anthropologists distinguish between material culture and symbolic culture, not only because each reflects different kinds of human activity, but also because they constitute different kinds of data and require different methodologies to study. • 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.

Culture and Socialization > Culture and Society Nonmaterial Culture • In contrast to material culture, non-material culture does not include physical objects or artifacts. • It includes things that have no existence in the physical world but exist entirely in the symbolic realm. • Examples are concepts such as good and evil, mythical inventions such as gods and underworlds, and social constructs such as promises and football games. • The concept of symbolic culture draws from semiotics and emphasizes the way in which distinctively human culture is mediated through signs and concepts. • The symbolic aspect of distinctively human culture has been emphasized in anthropology by Emile Durkheim, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Clifford Geertz, and many others. • Semiotics emphasises the way in which distinctively human culture is mediated through signs and concepts.

Culture and Socialization Key terms • biculturalism The state or quality of being bicultural. • civilization An organized culture encompassing many communities, often on the scale of a nation or a people; a stage or system of social, political or technical development. • cultural relativism Cultural relativism is a principle that was established as axiomatic in anthropological research by Franz Boas in the first few decades of the twentieth century, and later popularized by his students.
