              1. Culture is learnt: Culture is often understood as learned ways of behaviors. Culture is not an inborn tendency. It is acquired or learnt. It includes those learned patterns for thinking, feeling and acting that are transmitted from one generation to the next. Therefore what is learned through socialization and are acquired in group life are what is called culture.<\/p>\n

              2. Culture is Social: Culture is not the property of any individual. It is the social heritage of man. It is a way of group life. It originates in and develops through social interaction. It consists of a number of behavior patterns that are common to a group of people. It is the inclusive of all expectation of the members of the groups. Thus culture is a social products shared by most of the members of the group.<\/p>\n

It varies from time to time; Histoiy of every society is the history of change in culture from time to time.<\/p>\n

              6. Culture is Dynamic: Culture is not a static phenomena. It is a Dynamic entity. Changes in society implies changes in its culture. Culture simply means a way of life. It is nothing but a total \u201cdesign for living\u201d. Factors like inventions, problems, plans and policies etc. have a drastic effect on culture. As society changes a new way of life in evolved and adopted to adjust with the changing circumstances. Every factor that during changes in society will also being changes in the culture.

                                                            \nThe educational system tries to embrace almost all people where they are young and equip them with at least the minimum skills of literacy and numeracy education.
                                                            \nFollowing are the important functions of Education.<\/p>\n

                                                            1. Preservation function: As the transmission of culture is needed for the preservation of social order, it is also called the preservation function of education. Social structure persists only with the aid certain values and these values have to be handed down to the next generation. When the values and skills become absolute with the passage of time replacing ‘ them with new vistas is also a major function of education. With the growth of modern economy and the complexity of socio-economic structure.<\/p>\n

                                                            This is usually achieved through the political and administrative apparatus. The knowledge, skill and values acquired through education not only meet the economic needs of society, but also permeated with a social \u2018content corresponding to the existing socio-economic and political structure and the consequent social stratification and distribution of power in society.<\/p>\n

                                                            2. A locative function: The education process, with its’different specialization, different levels and certification process which goes along with it, allocates the younger generation to various roles in society according to their possession of or lack of appropriate diplomas and degree, specifying particular skills, abilities and values. Thus it legitimizes the existing distribution of position of socio-economic gains and power by convincing the losers or relative loss that their failure in life is due to their failure in education, which interim is due\u00a0to their lack of abilities.<\/p>\n

                                                            Moreover, this a locative function induces greater demands for more and more education and thus contributes to the expansion of education system and increase the common people\u2019s dependence on and subjugation to, it is that some of the so called universal goals of education in a society articulate the thinking of philosophers and social reformers of the times,<\/p>\n

                                                            3. Reformative function: Education is of fundamental significance to the development and progress of human society. Although education as a process of socialization. Education has also the capacity to liberate the human mind from shackles of the pass and the present. It has the potential to make men question the ruling values and norms in society, to make them rebel-against the existing social constraints and to solutions to the developed social contradiction and constraints outside the frame work of he established system. This we call the transformative, progressive or reformative function of education.<\/p>\n

                                                            The American sociologists Bowles and Gintis argues that the major role of education in modem world is the reproduction of labor power. The education system helps to achieve these objectives . largely through the hidden curriculum. It is not the content of lessons and the examinations that pupils take which are important, but the form that teaching and learning take and the way that schools are organized. The hidden curriculum consists of those things that pupils learn through the experience of attending school, rather than the stated educational objectives of such institutions.<\/p>\n

                                                            According to Bowles and Gintis, the hidden curriculum shapes the future workforce in the following ways:<\/p>\n

                                                            1. it helps to produce a subservient workforce of uncritical, passive and docile workers. Far from living up to liberal ideal of encouraging self-development.<\/p>\n

                                                            2. Bowles and Gintis claim that the hidden curriculum encourages an acceptance of hierarchy. Schools are organized on a hierarchical principle of authority and control.<\/p>\n

                                                            3. At school, pupils learn to be motivated by external rewards, just as the workforce in a capitalist society is motivated by external rewards. Because students have so little control over, and little feeling of involment in, their school work, they get little satisfaction from studying.<\/p>\n

                                                            Question 38.
                                                            \nDescribe the factors that resist social change.

                                                            \nOgburn and Nimkoff says that sometimes \u201cBoon to society is also opposed\u201d<\/p>\n

                                                            The factors for resistance are:<\/p>\n

                                                            1. Inadequacy of invention: For one or the other reason. People may or may not show interest in inventions. Some time the innovatory fails to convince the community. Inventions do not impress community life or are needful by that perfect of time.<\/p>\n

                                                            1. Fear: Men in general are happy with present. People always feel that new disturbs or may bring new problems. When Thomas Edison invented electric bulb, exhibition of illuminating electric bulb was arranged, immediately when electric bulb illuminated, people ran away with fear. Earlier people did not show interest in photography.<\/p>\n

                                                            2. Ignorance: Education and training make him intelligent. Even though man is ignorant about new. Before he is given proper knowledge his ignorance make him to resist. Secondly some men do not even learn to live. They are happy with their ignorance. America took generations to learn use of iron plough. Material change and its resistances is temporary. For example Mahatma Gandhiji and his efforts are still in process to bring \u201cnon alcoholic society\u201d.<\/p>\n

                                                            3. Habit: Man develops his personality thorough socialization. Once developed Personality cannot be changed easily. Personality is a complex whole of many habits. Habits force man to follow traditions. Habits influence our thoughts and dialylife.. people hesitate to accept new rules and regulations in society.<\/p>\n

                                                            4. Vested Interests: Vested Interest are selfish groups who want statuesque. Most social changes carry a threat to some vested interests. Land Reform Act in India brought change. But such change and legislative reformations were opposed by land lords. Orthodox society is always in fear of losing its interests, it opposes inter caste marriage.<\/p>\n

                                                            5. Economic Costs: Money play important role in adopting social change. For example to implement five year planning Indian government invested money. In recent tears cost of planning is raising. Some of the welfare measures like education, health, housing are lagging behind.<\/p>\n

                                                            6. Lack of an integrated approach: Society is combination of different parts, for example religion, education, government are in social system only. Change in one element brings ehange in another part also. When we want to bring change in religion it is necessary to bring change in education system also. To eradicate blind belief or evil practices all other conditions in prevailing society should be changed<\/p>\n

                                                            7. Technical difficulties in implementation:Looking to new technical innovations, society adopt its life style. Community many times accepts technical changes immediately, but does not accept some time. Technical devices should be restructured or they are not\u00a0suitable to the conditions, hence there is hindrance in acceptance.<\/p>\n

                                                            8. Intellectual Laziness: Creativity drive the attention immediately. Lack of creativity in man does not accept new. Active men agree to modem condition. Lazy do not. To understand the importance of new one must show interest in it. when there is lack of interest and do not pay attention, it is difficult to make men to change themselves.<\/p>\n

                                                            9. Desire for stability: Society and its functions go smooth with required stability. Individuals ire safe in stable society. Change disturbs the balance in present society. Often change brings insecurity to people in society. Common men feel<\/p>\n

                                                              \n
                                                            1. no guarantee in new social system, and<\/li>\n
                                                            2. new things may bring pain.<\/li>\n
                                                            3. Pleasure and comforts may not exists in new<\/li>\n

                                                              Therefore, members in stable conditions do not accept change. Desire for stability is guard against change.<\/p>\n

                                                                Characteristics of social group:<\/p>\n

                                                                1. Collection of Interacting Individuals: Social groups consists of people. Social interaction is the very basis of group life, mere collection of individual does not make a group. The members must have interaction. A social group is, in fact, a system of social interaction. Different interaction patterns exists in different groups such as family, friendship, and recreational associations etc.<\/p>\n

                                                                2. Sense of Group Unity and Solidarity: Depending on the nature of the group, its members are tied together by a sense of unity. The solidarity or unity of a group is largely dependent upon the frequency, the variety, and the emotional quality of the interactions of its members. A friends group or a peer group, or a professional association is highly united because its members are related by several common interests.<\/p>\n

                                                                3. Group Goals and Interests: The interest and goal of a group are said to be common. Groups are mostly formed or established for the fulfillment of certain interests. In fact, men not join groups but also form groups for the realization of their objectives or interests. Forms of the group differ depending upon the interests of the groups, educational groups, professional groups, recreational groups and so on. ,<\/p>\n

                                                                4. Groups are Stronger Than Their Individual Members:
                                                                \nA group is more than the sum of its parts. As Durkheim noted a group has a reality of its own or \u201csuigeneris\u201d. For example, the age and size of a group are not simple derived from the ages and sizes of its members. As Wallace and Wallace have pointed out. \u201cGroups generally stronger collectively than even the strongest individual members\u201d.<\/p>\n

                                                                5. Group Norms: Every group has its own rules or norms which the members are supposed to follow. These norms may be in the form of customs, folkways, mores, traditions, conventions, laws tec. They may be written or unwritten norms or standards.

                                                                1. Culture is learnt: Culture is often understood as learned ways of behaviors. Culture is not an inborn tendency.

The elements of culture such as customs beliefs, idea, folkways, mores, and language are all belonged to the people of a group. These are commonly shared by the members of a group.

According to Robert Bierstadt. \u201cCulture is something adopted, used believed, practiced or possessed by more than one person\u201d.<\/p>\n

                                                                4. Culture is Transmissive: Culture is the total social heritage. It is linked with the past. The past continues because it lives in culture. Culture is something that can be transmitted from one generation to the next. Culture is passed through language. Language is the chief vehicles of culture. Culture is also passed from one generation to another through traditions and customs. It is a product of human experience.<\/p>\n

                                                                5. Culture is Relative: All societies are not uniform. Hence all culture are also not uniform.

It varies from time to time. History of every society is the history of change in culture from time to time.<\/p>\n

As society changes a new way of life in evolved and adopted to adjust with the changing circumstances. Every factor that during changes in society will also being changes in the culture. Thus culture is dynamic.<\/p>\n

Culture provides the necessary environment for the satisfaction of human wants. It shows the way for getting the work done. Culture determines and guides the activities of men.<\/p>\n

                                                                8. Culture is continuous and cumulative:Culture is an growing phenomenon. It includes the glory of the past and the achievements present. Eg: Bullock carts, train, Aero planes etc., achievements. It is always cumulative.<\/p>\n
