Study Notes
Culture Lag
- Culture lag refers to the delay in cultural adaptation to technological innovations, resulting in social problems.
- Material culture (physical and technological aspects of daily life) tends to change rapidly, while non-material culture (ideas, beliefs, and values) resists change, leading to adaptation difficulties.
- The lag between material and non-material culture is why it's called "culture lag".
Examples of Culture Lag
- When cars were first invented, there were no laws to govern driving, leading to chaos and dangerous city streets, until laws were written to address the issue.
- Other examples include the time it took for businesses to effectively use computers and email.
Culture Shock
- Culture shock refers to feelings of disorientation, uncertainty, or fear when people encounter unfamiliar cultural practices.
- Culture shock can occur when someone moves to a different country, social environment, or travels to another type of life.
- Examples of culture shock include experiencing unfamiliar weather, language, food, values, and customs in a foreign country.
Effects of Culture Shock
- Culture shock can lead to feelings of sadness, loneliness, confusion, homesickness, and questioning one's decision to move.
- Examples of culture shock include people from Islamic countries experiencing cultural differences in Western Europe, such as women wearing revealing clothing and unmarried couples showing public affection.
