Student Will Be Able to… • Create a definition of culture and understand that there are different ways of viewing culture depending on the scale.
What we’ve learned so far… • Population size and behaviors are influenced by culture. • Culture: “a group of belief systems, norms, and values practiced by a people” (Fouberg et al. 112) • Transmitted by “imitation, instruction, and example” (Getis 210). • NOT BIOLOGICAL!!! • People can call themselves a culture or people can label them.
What is constructed and Not • Material Culture: “includes the things they [humans/people] construct” (Fouberg 112) • Nonmaterial culture: “Includes beliefs, practices, aesthetics, and values of a group of people”. • What people construct (material culture) reflects the nonmaterial culture.
Building Blocks of Culture • Culture Traits: “units of learned behavior ranging from the language spoke to the tools used or the games played” (Getis 211). Action • Culture Complex: “individual culture traits that are functionally interrelated” (Getis 211). Beliefs and Actions • Culture System: “larger spatial reality and generalization...” groups may “share enough joint characteristics to be recognizably distinctive culture entities to themselves” (Getis 211) Large System in Scale
Different Types of Culture • Folk Culture: “typically rural, and is cohesive in cultural traits” (Fouberg 112). “Nonfaddish”, “Resistant to outside Influences”, and “largely self-sufficient group” (Getis 227). Slow to change. • Creates a small group identity • Includes food, clothing, housing, shared themes • Use from minute 1:32-5:26 • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_ODFP8ebes
