Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A subculture is a group within a larger society that has its own distinct values and norms but still largely shares the dominant culture of the larger society. Countercultures, on the other hand, reject the values and norms of the dominant culture and aim to create their own independent culture. Cultural relativism and cultural diffusion refer to broader concepts of how cultures interact and evolve.
