Hall's 3 levels of culture: Answer - Tertiary level: explicit manifest culture
-Public facade presented to world at large
Underlying implicit assumptions, beliefs, and rules which constitute that groups
cultural grammar
visible to the outsider, such as social rituals, traditional dress, national cuisine
and festive occasions
-Easy to observe, change, and manipulate
Secondary level: these underlying rules and assumptions are known to the
members of the group but rarely shared with outsiders
-Hidden, stable, resistant to change
Primary level culture: deepest level of culture in which the rules are known to
all, obeyed by all, but rarely stated
-Its rules are implicit, taken for granted, almost impossible for the average
person to state as a system, and generally out of awareness
-Hidden, stable, resistant to change
sex ratios and sex selection in the USA Answer - In general, more boys than
girls are born in the United States, by a ratio of 1.05 to 1. But among American
families of Chinese, Korean and Indian descent, the likelihood of having a boy
increased to 1.17 to 1 if t=[e first child was a girl, according to the Columbia
economists. If the first two children were girls, the ratio for a third child was
1.51 to 1 — or about 50 percent greater — in favor of boys. He found that on
the basis of census and birth records through 2004, the incidence of boys
among immigrant Chinese parents in New York was higher than the national
average for Chinese families. Boys typically account for about 515 of every
,1,000 births. But he found that among Chinese New Yorkers having a third
child, the number of boys was about 558.
-Asian american families- preference for boys and a growing tendency for
families to embrace sex-selection techniques- IVF, sperm sorting, abortion
-Families depend on male child for support
"rural gun culture" Answer - Many people own guns because they simply enjoy
them — shooting them, the feel of them, their history, their role in protection.
They want guns for the same reason you might want a particular kind of car.
They also believe that having a gun makes them less likely to become a victim.
Here, guns are tools. We hunt with them.
-Matter of liberty and personal responsibility; compromising principles more
horrific and detrimental to society than any shooting
-Don't blame guns, they blame shooters
-Gun control won't stop criminals from gettings guns
According to Helman, what are the 4 general contextual factors that influence
the expression of culture? Answer - -individual factors (such as age, gender,
size, appearance, personality, intelligence, experience, physical state and
emotional state)
-educational factors (both formal and informal and including education into a
religious, ethnic or professional subculture)
-socio-economic factors (such as poverty, social class, economic status,
occupation or unemployment, discrimination or racism, as well as the networks
of social support from other people)
-environmental factors (such as the weather, population density or pollution of
the habitat, but also including the types of infrastructure available, such as
housing, roads, bridges, public transport and health facilities).
-All of these factors will play some role but in different proportions, therefore
some people will act more culturally in some situations than others
, -In some situations, their behavior will be more determined by their
personality, or educational attainment, or SES
According to Eckersley, what cultural force in Westernized countries affects the
risk of suicide? In what ways might this cultural factor adversely affect mental
health? Answer - -The costs of individualism have been described as a
heightened sense of risk, uncertainty, and insecurity; a lack of clear frames of
references; a rise in personal expectations, coupled with a perception that the
onus of success lies with the individual; a surfeit or excess of freedom and
choice, which is experienced as threat; increased self esteem; confusion of
autonomy w/ independence
-The more narrow and seperate the self is defined, the greater their
experiences will be seen as alien
-Causes more insecurity, feeling of diminishedness, feel alone
-Individualism affects psychosocial factors like reducing social support and
personal control and is therefore harming psychological well being and physical
health
In the "Gun Culture" article, describe what Leonard means by "original sin"
analogy to characterize the rural / urban divide on views of gun rights. Answer
- There are different perspectives on original sin between many conservatives
and liberals. Democrats think people were born basically good, so when good
people did bad things, something in society (in this case, guns) needed to be
controlled. Republicans think the fault lies with the person — the perpetrator
of the evil. Bad choices result in bad things being done, in part because the
perpetrator lacks the moral guidance the Christian faith provides. The reaction
to mass shootings highlights this difference.
-Liberals (urban) blame the guns and want to debate gun control. For
conservatives (rural) , the blame lies with the shooter, not the gun
The socioeconomic gradient Answer - -refers to the observation that
socioeconomic status is positively associated with health
