Cultures, Subcultures, and Countercultures: Crash Course Sociology #11

What is culture? How do we define it and how does it change? We’ll explore different categories of culture, like low culture, high culture, and sub-cultures. We’ll also revisit our founding theories to consider both a structural functionalist and a conflict theory perspective on what cultures mean for society.
