Each living life is attached in culture whether humans or animals. Culture is natural development during birth process {what we call is behavior, that changes from individual to individual broadened when lives in family that family is part of a society (group or community), behavior of the group is culture} and its evolution is based on intelligence reaction to experiences and needs. For example initial stages of humans, behavior were similar to other animals lived in groups. Animals too live in groups (society or community) and their group behavior and practices is their culture. Human intelligence reacted stronger to experiences and needs that widened cultural status. Culture is process to live in-group. Each society has norms to follow by individuals in order to retain society strong and intact. Culture is a process for identity of living creatures and cultural evolution raises the identity of society, benefit goes to its individuals.
Here is an interesting Video that I found in YOU TUBE about Culture:
Some differences between pop and folk culture include fashion and clothes. For example, in pop culture, new fashions change constantly and are influenced by the media and celebrities whereas in folk culture, clothing styles are passed down by generation to generation. Another difference is the way they are diffused; Pop culture is spread by hierarchal diffusion whilst in folk culture, they hinder new and mainstream trends from coming in. Finally, another difference is that in folk culture, the people are unique and are distinguished while in pop culture are into the same sorts of things and are interconnected whether it is on a national or global scale. Folk culture is diffused by relocation diffusion whereas pop culture is diffused by hierarchal diffusion.
Some examples of folk and popular sport activities are:
Folk – Lacrosse, archery, and horseback riding.
Popular – Football, basketball, and bowling.
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing it with us.
