Unit Three. Organizing Social Life: Culture
Looking Ahead
In unit three we begin our study of the organization of social life within human communities and societies. Unit three examines the basic element of any society: its culture. It considers the development of culture from its roots in the prehistoric human experience, cultural universale and variations among cultures. The major aspects of culture – including language, norms, sanctions and values – are defined and explored. The discussion focuses both on the general cultural practices found in all societies and on the wide variations that can distinguish one society from another.
Learning Objectives
After studying this unit, you should be able to answer the following questions:
1. How do aspects of a culture develop? How do they spread from one society to another?
2. What are the cultural universale? In what do they differ in different societies?
3. Through what process do human cultures change and expand?
4. Why do sociologists make a useful distinction between elements of material and nonmaterial culture?
5. Why is language viewed by sociologists as the foundation of every culture?
6. In what ways are norms and sanctions used to reward or to penalize human behavior?
7. Can you offer a list of basic human values typical of and common for all societies?
