Culture wars refer to conflicts within mainstream society about which values and norms should be upheld, often resulting in polarization and a battle of ideas over issues such as religion, politics, or morality. Symbolic culture refers to the non-material, intangible aspects of culture such as language, art, and beliefs. Counterculture refers to a subculture that opposes or deviates from the majority culture. Hegemony refers to the dominance of one group over others in terms of power and influence. While all of these concepts are related to culture, only culture wars specifically refer to conflicts within mainstream society.
