    thing is certain, it will
    change.
    Cultural change refers

    “THINK OF
    IT!!!”
     How do human
    variation, social
    differences,
    social change,
    and political
    identities affect
    culture?
    CULTURE

     Shared patterns of
    behaviors and
    interactions, cognitive
    constructs and
    understanding that are
    learned by socialization.
    The word "culture" derives
    from a French term, derived
    from the Latin "colere,"
    which means to tend to the
    earth and grow, or
    cultivation and nurture.
     According to
    sociologists, culture
    consists of the
    values, beliefs,
    systems of language,
    communication, and
    practices that people
    share and that can
    be used to define
    them as a collective.
    DEFINITIONS OF
    CULTURAL CHANGE
     Horton and Hunt: “changes in the
    culture of society is called cultural
    change.”
     Kingsley Davis: “cultural changes
    embarrasses occurring in any
    branch of culture including art,
    science, technology, philosophy etc.
    as well as the changes in the forms
    of and rules of social organization.”
     David Dressler and Donald
    Caens: “It is the modification or
    discontinuance of existing ‘tried’
    and ‘tested’ procedures transmitted
    to us from the culture of the past, as
    well as the introduction of new
    procedures.”
    Culture changes
    through
    developments in
    technology, political
    belief and religious
    ideas.
    External
    encounters with
    diverse societies
    and environmental
    factors also change
    cultural beliefs.
     Cultural change
    sometimes
    causes a
    backlash from
    those with more
    traditional social
    views.
     Cultural change
    occurs due to the
    diffusion of ideas
    from one society
    to another.
     Cultural
    change also
    occurs
    through
    syncretism,

    cultures
    mix.

    SOURCES OF

     5. Assimilation.
    It is the process
    of combination
    of two cultures in
    to one culture
    with comprising
    cultural traits.
     Viewing culture
    in terms of
    patterns and
    configurations:
    Cultural traits

    -A trait may be an
    object (knife), a way
    of doing something
    (weaving), a belief
    (in spirits), or an
    attitude (the so-
    called horror of
    incest).
    Cultural areas
    -The relationship
    between an actual
    culture and its
    habitat is always
    an intimate one,
    and therefore one
    finds a close
    correlation
    between kind of
    habitat and type
    of culture.
     Cultural types

    -Appreciation of the relationship


    between culture and
    topographic area suggests the
    concept of culture type, such as
    hunting and gathering or a
    special way of hunting--for
    example, the use of the horse in
    bison hunting in the Plains or
    the method of hunting of sea
    mammals among the Eskimo;
    pastoral cultures centred
    upon sheep, cattle, reindeer,
    and so on; and horticulture
    (with digging stick and hoe) and
    agriculture (with ox-drawn
    plow).
     Viewing culture
    in terms of
    institutional
    structure and
    functions
    Social
    organization
    -A sociocultural
    system presents
    itself under two
    aspects: structure
    and function.
    Economic
    systems
    Education
    -Education in its
    broadest sense
    may properly be
    regarded as the
    process by
    which the
    culture of a
    sociocultural
    system is
    impressed or
    imposed upon
    the plastic,
    Religion and belief

     Man's oldest philosophy


    is animism, the doctrine
    that everything is alive
    and possesses mental
    faculties like those
    possessed by man:
    desire, will, purpose,
    anger, love, and the like.
     "A belief in spirits is,"
    according to Edward
    Burnett Tylor, "the
    minimum definition of
    religion."
     r a belief in
    impersonal,
    supernatural
    power, or mana
    (manitou, orenda,
    and so on).
     Father Wilhelm
    Schmidt -a
    German Roman
    Catholic priest and
    anthropologist
    argued not only
    that some
    primitive peoples
    believe in a
    Supreme Being,
    but that
    monotheism was
    characteristic of
    the earliest and
    simplest cultures.
     Tylor -pointed out many
    years ago, the Supreme
    Being of some very
    primitive peoples is an
    originator god, or a
    philosophical explanatory
    device, accountable only
    for the existence and
    structure of the world;
    after his work was
    completed, he had no
    further significance; he
    was not worshiped and
    played no part in the daily
    lives of the people.
     CUSTO  Sociocultural systems, like
    other kinds of systems, must
    M AND have means of selfregulation
    and control to persist and
    LAW function.
     The kinship
    organization
    specifies reciprocal
    and correlative
    rights, duties, and
    obligations of one
    class of relatives to
    another.
     Codes of ethics
    govern the
    relationship of the
    individual to the
    well-being of
    society.
     Codes of
    etiquette
    regulate class
    structure by
    requiring
    individuals to
    conform to their
    respective
    classes.
     Custom is a
    general term
    that embraces
    all these
    mechanisms of
    regulation and
    control and even
    more. Custom is
    the name given
    to uniformities in
    sociocultural
    systems.
     Uniformities are
    important because
    they make
    anticipation and
    prediction possible;
    without them,
    orderly conduct of
    social life would not
    be possible.
    Custom, therefore,
    is a means of social
    regulation and
    control, of effecting
    compliance with
    itself to render
    effective conduct of
    social life possible.
