Values, both those held by individuals and those that represent a nation or people, can undergo deep shifts. It is difficult for many of us to grasp the pride with which earlier Americans destroyed trees that took thousands of years to grow, are located only on one tiny speck of the globe, and that we today consider part of the nation’s and world’s heritage. But this is a value statement, representing current views. The pride expressed on these woodcutters’ faces represents another set of values entirely.

Cultural Universals Some Activities are Universal − Courtship, Marriage, Funerals, GamesFunerals Present in all cultures, but the specific customs differ from one group to another  What are some examples of activities that you think might differ from culture to culture?  What activities might be the same?

Unlike this beautiful ant, we humans are not controlled by instincts. Sociobiologists, though, are exploring the extent to which genes influence our behavior.

Language is the basis of human culture around the world. The past decade has seen major developments in communication—the ease and speed with which we can talk to people across the globe. This development is destined to have vital effects on culture. This photo of teens texting was taken in a village in Ethiopia.

Cultural Lag and Cultural Change Cultural Lag: human behavior sometimes lags behind technological innovations Not all parts of culture change at the same pace. A group’s material culture usually changes first, with the nonmaterial culture lagging behind. School being nine months

Technological advances are now so rapid that there can be cultural gaps between generations.

Cultural leveling is occurring rapidly, with some strange twists. These men from an Amazon tribe, who have just come back from a week hunting in the jungle, are wearing traditional headdress and using traditional weapons, but you can easily spot something else that is jarringly out of place.
