In the video about Bali we learned about the Hindu religion. The priestly class is the highest class in the religion. They prepare the holy water. The high priest and his wife officiate a ceremony on the 105th day of a baby’s life. Before this day they believe the baby still belongs to the deities and does not even receive a name. On the 105th day the baby is allowed to touch theground for the first time and becomes her mother’s child instead of a deity’s child. Vlll. There are at least 365 different definitions of culture. Culture includes knowledge, belief, arts, morals, law, customs, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by people as membersof a society. There are different characteristics of culture. Culture is learned consciously and unconsciously. Cultures have systems of symbolic meanings, and teach us how to express biological and natural urges in particular ways. These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.lX. Different aspects of culture are interrelated, patterned systems. A change in one aspect of culture usually entails changes in other aspects. Example: Increasing numbers of women in the United States working outside the home from the 1950s and on. People use culture actively andcreatively. Culture is a process not a thing. X. Many cultures have origins before nation-states were ever created. However, today we have international and transnational cultures as well as national cultures and subcultures.Xl. People are raised by certain rules and norms but people don’t always follow them. Rules and norms vary according to subject positions of individuals and are subject to interpretation. These rules can be contested and changed. There are struggles within cultures over meaning of symbols and values. Cultures can be adaptive or maladaptive with respect to the environment.Xll. National cultures have some shared beliefs, symbols, and ideals, but they do not always agree. There are changes over time among people’s beliefs. Subcultures include religion, ethnicity, language, class, region, age, etc.Xlll. Practices in one culture should not be judges the standards of another
