Write a page paper for chapters 3, 4, and 6 using the following prompt:
Culture is a very broad concept, so sociologists usually divide it into the concepts of material culture and symbolic culture. Describe the major components of symbolic and material culture. How has ethnocentrism affected your lived experiences? What do you think a more culturally relativist approach to your example would look like?
Describe how the four major agents of socialization have shaped your life experiences.
Define deviance from a sociological perspective. According to sociologists, why is deviance related to the societal response to a behavior, rather than to the behavior itself? What is positive deviance? How does each theoretical framework explain deviance? Give examples.
