Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Within cultures, groups of people share different beliefs, values, and attitudes. Differences occur because of ethnicity, religion, education, occupation, age, and gender. When such groups function within a large culture, they are referred to as subcultural groups. Fitting as many people as possible into the majority culture, identifying small groups of people who do not want to be identified with the larger culture, and singling out groups of people who suffer differential and unequal treatment as a result of cultural variations do not describe a subculture. A subculture is a group of people with a culture that share some different beliefs, values, or attitudes than the majority of the larger culture.
