society : is everyone. anyone in a community is society. if you have a view point and an opinion, you ar part of society

Answer 3

"A culture is not the anonymous product of undifferentiated masses, but the sum of the intellectual achievements of individual men."
-Ayn Rand, VOS

"The argument that we must respect "tradition" as such, respect it merely because it is a "tradition," means that we must accept the values other men have chosen, merely because other men have chosen them - with the implication of: Who are we to change them?"
-Ayn Rand, CUI

"Society is a large number of men who live together in the same country, and who deal with one another."
Ayn Rand, Textbook of Americanism

"What is morality, or ethics? It is a code of values to guide man's choices and actions - the choices and actions that determine the purpose and course of his life. Ethics as a science, deals with discovering and defining such a code."
-Ayn Rand, VOS

" "Value" is that which one acts to gain and keep, "virtue" is the action by which one gains and keeps it."
-Ayn Rand, FNI

"A principle is "a fundamental, primary, or general truth, on which other truths depend." Thus a principle is an abstraction which subsumes a greater number of concretes. It is only by means of principles that one can set one's long-range goals and evaluate the concrete alternatives of any given moment. It is only principles that enable a man to plan his future and to achieve it."
-Ayn Rand, CUI

Answer 4

the term culture originated in latin meaning 'to cultivate'. it often relates to the patterns of human behaviour and the structures which help give meaning and offer significance to various experiences on a humanist level.

themes include cultural hegemony, likewise, an italian marxist antonio gramsci coined this term in reference of dominant classes or social groups exercising and maintaining control over lesser or subordinate groups in society. they include people of ethnic minorities and the gay and lesbian community. culture is a very broad term that connotes many different things: language, clothing, music, art, people, identity, nationalities, race, gay culture, high, low, mass/popular culture, tv, film, advertising, sports, food. culture is also attributed to things such as money/capital and taste. pierre bourdieu made links with a person's economic/financial status or the level of education he /she is receiving with cultural artefacts such as paintings, art etc and other social activities. for example it is assumed that a person attending a highly prestitious educational institution such as the ivy league, harvard, princeton or yale for example must have high cultural capital, in addition to being academically bright and successful.
