Degree of competition,determination of status,and social roles are all factors that are determined by the assumptions,beliefs,and practices of the members of the culture.In cultures that value individual resourcefulness,competition would be acceptable.Status is culturally determined and varies according to each culture.Some will ascribe higher status to age or socioeconomic status.Social roles also are influenced by the culture.Race and culture are two distinct attributes.The racial grouping describes transmissible traits,whereas the culture is determined by the pattern of assumptions,beliefs,and practices that unconsciously frames or guides the outlook and decisions of a group of people.Cultural development may be limited by geographic boundaries.It is not the boundaries that are culturally determined.
