Deep Structure Institutions of Culture

Your text cites Huntington who states that, "The people of different civilizations have different views on the relations between God and man, the individual and the group, the citizen and the state, parents and children, husband and wife, as well as differing views of the relative importance of rights and responsibilities, liberty and authority, equality and hierarchy."





Family, State, and Religion carry messages that allow a culture to endure. Religious and nationalist narratives repeat sacred and patriotic messages and are often first heard within family groups.


The FAMILY


Types of families, extended and nuclear (or two-generational)


Functions of family
Reproduction


Teaching Economics


Socialization


Teaching Values and Worldview


Identity "Who am I"


Communication Training




(enculturation)


The STATE


States or nations, communities are holders of history, a vital cultural element
