My Cultural Image

 

Cultural stuff - DLO (What is it?)

 Culture:
A widespread of custom beliefs throughout a society that escorts people. The description of a particular group of people who live life in a specific way. Culture can be past down by generations, continuously changing. Arts, dancing, singing, food, values, language are all examples of cultural factors.

Society:
Every society has culture, but they are not the same thing. 
Society includes people who share mutual beliefs, values and overall the way of living. Society in this case is about a group of people who live or are connected in a geographic area who interact with each other more than they interact with the outsiders. An example of this is NZ. 





Subculture:
A group that has similar but different beliefs and behaviors from a larger society. Some examples of subcultures are hippies, goths, emo, and etc. 

Counterculture:
It is when the subculture interferes with the bigger culture’s rules. An example of this would be the hippies in the 1960’s. The punks in the 1970’s.
