This week, we will continue examining the factors that account for diversity within and among cultures. We will also begin analyzing cultural conformity and adaptation. We will watch a documentary about the civil rights movement of the 1960s ("Eyes on the Prize") and discuss the values that form the foundation of American culture. We will also analyze how societal norms are enforced by formal and informal sanctions, and we will uncover the main sources of change and resistance to change within a given society.
