Discussion:
Components of Culture
Part One: Read the vignette titled "Is Everyone Becoming a Westerner?" and answer these two Critical Thinking Questions:
1. Do you think consumer culture is taking over the world?
2. What will be the condition of Earth's cultures in the year 2100?
Part Two: Identify and explain all the terms and concepts (about a dozen) in chapter two that comprise the "Components of Cultural Knowledge". Use at least six of the terms you identified to address the questions in Part One.
