Culture & Socialization, A Review
<p>In particular, we talk about how culture does the work of social solidarity: we become more likely to be committed to social structures when we have a culture around the structure. For example: if we value (culture) respecting property we are more likely to support/follow the laws (structure) about private property. Or, when the people of society start to lose solidarity around a law (structure), space opens up for those laws to change. For example: when a group of people’s beliefs lead them to see marijuana as a medical resource and not worthy of arrest or incarceration (culture), then solidarity around the illegality begins to wane, and movements to change the laws build momentum. We have been living through this reality for the past few years as we’ve seen more and more local and state municipalities legalize marijuana.</p>
