Let’s Elaborate
Though the term society and culture is used today as a scientific
concept by most of the social sciences, its most comprehensive
definition has been provided in anthropology. Humans are social
beings. That is why we live together in societies. Day-to-day we
interact with each other and develop social relationships. Every
society has a culture, no matter how simple that culture may be.
Culture is shared.
• Anthropology a branch of knowledge which deals with the scientific study of man,
his/her works, behavior, and value in time and space.

• Sociology is the study of human institution and their relationships. This discipline
examines how human actions in modern societies are shaped by social groups and by
wider social, economic and political pressures.
•
• Political Identities refer to a political approach wherein a person or people of a
particular religion, race, social background, class and other identifying factors will
form exclusive socio-political alliances, moving away from broad-based, bipartisan
politics to support and follow political movements which share a particular
identifying quality with them
• Human Cultural Variation refers to the differences in social behaviors that different
cultures exhibit around the world. What may be considered good etiquette in one
culture may be considered bad etiquette in another.
• Cultural Variation:
Religion – a system of beliefs and practices as well as system of actions directed
toward entities which are above men.
Ethnicity – it is the expression of the set of cultural ideas held by a distinct ethics
or indigenous group.
Nationality – it is the legal relationship that binds a person and a country
• Social Differences the differences among the individuals on the basis of social
characteristics and qualities
• Social Differences:
Gender – It is the socially constructed characteristic of being male and female.
Socio - economic Status - It refers to the category of persons who have more or less
the same socio-economic privileges.
Exceptionality – It refers to the state of being intellectually gifted and/or having
physically or mentally challenged conditions.
• The Concept of Social Change
The problem of social change is one of the central foci of sociological inquiry. It is so
complex and so significant in the life of individual and of society that we have to explore
the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of social change in all its ramifications.
Social changes - are variations from the accepted modes of life; whether due to
alternation in geographical conditions, in cultural equipment, composition of the
population or ideologies and brought about by diffusion, or inventions within the group.
