Culture: all the values and norms that the members of a group or society share and consider natural
Functions of culture
1. Defines your identity
2. You share a common frame of reference
The same norms, values so no trouble understanding each other
3. Regulates behavior
Develop role behavior (teacher in class, boss at work)
Presentation of the self – the way we show ourselves in a role
Impression management – groups who together give a performance -> in private you act differently
Dominant and subcultures
Dominant culture: the body of values and norms that are accepted by people within a society
-> usually people with political status put stamp on norms
Subculture: group that develops norms that deviate from the dominant culture -> member of a church
Socialisation: the process in which someone, (sub)consciously is taught the values and norms of a group
-> with the aim that they adapt to their social environment
Socialisation takes place by means of imitation: they mirror behavior
Socialising institutions
-> institutions and organisations within which and through which the transfer of culture takes place in a society
-> christmas, ramadan
Social control
-> the process of socialising takes place through social control: the way in which people encourage or even force others
to comply with the prevailing norms
Formal social control: based on weitten laws, rules (sport)
Informal social control: rules of etiquette
Soccial control is often ezersized in postive and negative sanctions
Enculturation: socialisation learned from birth from country of origin -> immigration is more difficult
Acculturation: learning characteristics of culture you were not originally a member of
Internalisation: when certain aspects of the culture or community you belong to become so much a part of you
that you automatically behave in the way that is expected of you -> you drive on the right without thinking
identification and identity
group identification: the result of socialisation and internalisation people feel like they belong to both the dominant and
the subculture.
Who we are is a mix between inherited and learned from characteristics
Inherited- anger issues
Learned - politeness
Nature – nurture
The Dutch identity
there is no Dutch identity -> we are loyal to the Dutch society yet we are all very different
immigrants can also be loyal
individual or the collective
The Netherlands places lots of emphasis on individual development ->
the dominant culture in the Netherlands is individualistic
collectivist culture we take care of others (parents in law) -> important in African countries
