Sociology: Culture Project



Sociology

Cooperative Learning Activity

Culture Project

Groups will complete a project (the format is up to you…creativity counts) explaining the cultural aspects of a cultural group (ie: Neo-Nazis) in the world. Discuss the non-material and material culture: language, values, norms, folkways, mores, taboos, beliefs, technology, material objects, gestures, symbols, behaviors, laws, superstitions, communication, and ideal verses true culture, of this society. Include what you believe to be the most important culture pattern of the culture (and its corresponding complexes and traits).

Other suggestions: What does this society eat? How do they treat marriage? Feel about dating? When does an individual become an adult? What ceremonies are important? Why? What negative pressures are there on society (racism?), and how are these pressures resolved? Is the culture ethnocentric?
