Culture & Society

Culture & Society refers to the complex interplay between the beliefs, practices, values, norms, and artifacts of a group of people (culture) and the structures, relationships, and institutions that organize social life (society). Culture encompasses the artistic, intellectual, and social manifestations of a community, including language, traditions, rituals, and customs, while society pertains to the organization of individuals into groups and systems such as families, communities, and nations, as well as the dynamics of relationships between these groups. The study of Culture & Society often examines how cultural elements influence social behavior, social identity, and collective consciousness, and how societal structures shape cultural expressions and experiences. This field also explores issues like social change, cultural diversity, power dynamics, and the impact of globalization on both cultural and social frameworks.
