Document Summary
Values: what is desirable, by which we define good/bad, beautiful/ugly. Norms: grow out of/reflect values through social expectations or rules of behaviour. Sanctions: positive or negative reactions to the ways in which people adhere to norms. Folkways: norms that are not strictly enforced (ex don"t pick your nose) Mores: core to our values and demand conformity (ex noise bylaw) A norm that is so strongly ingrained that violation is greeted with revulsion. Cultures shares many of the properties that characterize economic capital. Subculture: a world within a dominant culture. Values, norms, food, religion, language, or clothing may set them apart but subculture is largely compatible with the dominant society. Ex organized crime, societies for men loving boys/girls. Ex fundamentalist christian groups seeking to politically impress their view of the world on all of us. Judge by their people happiness, health, survival elements of exploitation. Ex gang rape, female genital mutilation, wife-beating, selling daughters into prostitution.
