Teaching Culture

A major characteristic of culture is that we teach our culture. If we were born with our culture groups of people with that culture would be the same. This could make solving issues easier as meeting the needs of one would meet the needs of many. But, it would also mean that problems could become severe more rapidly as if something affected one it would affect many. So there are positives and negative to the characteristic of us teaching our culture but since the largest social group a sociologist studies is a society it is hard to imagine the number of cultures and sub-cultures that can exist in a given society and then what about all of the societies collectively? This could mean that there could be many more specific issues that a given group would focus on instead say a political party having many focuses so this could have a more conflict based approach in regards to sociology as in there would be more distinct divisions among societies because they may only have one large issue to focus on so if you don't relate to that you are a total outsider. Where if there were multiple concerns one might be related to some of them, not necessarily all of them, so there would be more wiggle room when it came to beliefs. I find this concept very interesting and a good topic to debate.
