The term “culture” indicates the beliefs, customs, language, dress, norms and values, roles, diet, skills, knowledge, competences, and everything else that is learnt by people and plays a role in shaping a society’s way of life. Socialization helps the transfer and continued growth and nurturing of culture in the subsequent generations. Although a vast majority of members of a society have different aspects of the daily life in common, yet different definitions and conceptions of culture exist within the general approach. Conceptions of culture Dominant culture A society’s dominant culture is its main culture that is accepted and shared by the majority without opposition. For instance, the British culture is characterized by it being patriarchal, white, and unequal, wherein the things of the white males are regarded as worthwhile and are given more importance as compared to the things of females or of the minority ethnic groups (Browne, 2008, p. 32). Likewise, views of the more powerful and rich people regarding the valuable aspects of the culture are considered more important than the views of the less powerful and rich. Subculture A subculture is the culture of a particular community or a group of people within the dominant culture. A subculture has many aspects common with the dominant culture with certain differences. Examples of subculture include the culture of gypsies and of gays. Folk culture Folk culture is the culture of the local communities.
