You did this paper for me, but I have a friend in the same course who needs this done as well. Please don’t use the language that you gave to me because we are in the same course.

The Assignment: – Culture

In chapter 4, we discuss how sociologists identify cultures and subcultures, and how both have unique components—language, values, norms (behaviors), and symbols.

For this assignment, you will dive deeper into culture by completing the following: 

1. Using the textbook, define each of the four components of culture: language, values, norms (behaviors), and symbols. Be sure to paraphrase and cite your sources if applicable. 

2. Next, choose a popular or your favorite television show of your choice-(examples may include 
The Simpsons, 
The Big Bang Theory, 
Modern Family, 
Orange is the New Black) or a movie you have enjoyed.  

       For your chosen show or movie, provide specific examples for each component of culture (language, values,  

       norms, and symbols) found within your show or movie.

· Each TV show or movie could be said to represent a subculture of mainstream society. From your chosen example: How are each of the four components of culture (language, values, norms, and symbols) identified as a subculture or counter-culture of mainstream American culture?  

·  Finally, choose 1 of the following theorists: Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx, or Charles H. Cooley. (Each of these theorists would view culture differently- you may refer to our text: Chap. 2 and 4 to assist you with this area of your essay) What does your chosen theorist say about the role of culture in shaping human behavior?
