Crash Course Sociology #10: Symbols, Values, & Norms

Curated by ACT

This video focuses on symbols, values, and norms. What exactly is culture? We're going to try to answer that, and explain the difference between material and non-material culture. We'll look at three things that make up culture: symbols, values and beliefs, and norms. We'll explore Sapir-Whorf hypothesis (and some of its problems) and how language influences culture. Finally, we'll talk about the three types of norms - folkways, mores, and taboos - which govern our daily life.
