Lesson 2

Cards (8)

  • Human beings are social beings and society shapes us as much as we shape it.
  • Society can be broadly described as an organized group held together by common ties of membership in a shared geographical area.
  • Uniformity in society is characterized by cultural cohesion and social homogeneity, while pluralism is more open and tolerant.
  • Pluralistic societies do not exclude people on the basis of race, gender, or religious belief, while uniform societies may be afraid of diversity.
  • Culture is a term that is not easy to define, but can be broadly defined as a social group’s attitudes, values, or way of thinking and behaving, giving it a certain flavor.
  • Every society or nation has culture or “cultures”.
  • It is essential to recognize and understand the impact of culture on human behavior, as it can help us foster greater understanding and respect for diverse perspectives and ways of life.
  • Greater awareness and appreciation of cultural differences can ultimately promote greater harmony and inclusivity in our society.
