    This document defines key concepts related to cultural variation within societies. It distinguishes between high culture, popular culture, subcultures, and countercultures. Subcultures exist within dominant cultures but follow some different norms, while countercultures oppose dominant cultural norms. It also discusses cultural universals, or traits that are common across all human cultures, such as language, food, tools, family structures, and religious practices. Sociologists study both cultural variations between societies as well as cultural universals to understand cultural influences.

    Subcultures
    Subcultures are cultures that exist

    with different norms and values, just
    like subcultures
    Countercultures often oppose the
    dominant culture, forming from a

    etc.

    Funeral Ceremonies

    among others...

    Food quest, processing, distribution and consumption
    Territoriality
    Securing and processing raw materials
    Clothing and adornment
    Construction, arrangement in settlement patterns, dwellings, and other structures

    Manufacturing and use of instruments,


    tools and appliances

    Ownership and exchange of property by individuals


    and groups
    Travel and transportation
    Fine arts, recreation, and entertainment

    When sociologists compare 2 societies they will often use cultural


    universal traits as points of comparison. They will try to account for
    differences between cultures by considering things such as geography,
    history and other outside influences.

    Other Concepts:
    Ethnocentrism
    The practice of judging another culture
    by the standards of ones own culture

    Cultural relativism
    The practice of judging a culture by its
    own standards
