Overview
A persons ability to adapt society is not part of their genetic heritage. it is found in culture and society. Culture relates to the customs of people, while society relates to the people practicing the customs.
This module outlines the components of culture, cultural unity, and diversity. It reviews the key concepts to social structure, the process of socialization through foundations, its relationship to the development of the self, and how it changes nature over the life course.
Many different cultures exist in society and are largely distinguished through norms, values, and symbols or language. And, although cultural unity can bring many people together under one umbrella, it is the subcultures and countercultures that differentiate the groups. Each group, like a club or board of directors, has specifics that interweave peoples interactions and relations in recurrent and stable patterns. That is where the social structure is built.
Socialization is the backbone of cultures and the perpetuation of society. People and society are mutually dependent on it. Charles Horton Cooley, George Herbert Mead, and Erving Goffman each had theories on the formation of the self. No matter how self-socialization is viewed, socialization is a continuing, a lifelong process.
