Summary:
 Culture is variously classified.
 High cultures and civilizations is a similar concept. high cultures can be seen as somewhat discriminatory concept that distinguishes a civilized community groups and the non-civilized community groups.
 Culture is formed differently depending on the environment and is continually changing.
 Culture is divided into subcultures and countercultures. subculture is a fringe group consisting of a small number of members. counterculture is a culture that opposed to major culture.
 Ethnocentrism focusing their culture when look other culture. this perspective can consider that their culture are superior and other culture are inferior. It has the risk of interfering with the cultural exchange.
 Cultural relativism is the view that understanding the culture from the perspective of a group that has its culture.
 Culture has the ability to induce a specific action to groups. In this respect, culture can also carry risks to reproduce existing inequalities.



 Subcultures, counterculture culture, ethnocentrism, cultural relativism, etc. is a concept I learned in high school. It was good to be able to know them in more detail through this material.
 And I thought that everyone needs a cultural relativist attitude in these days where different cultures coexist.



Question:
 What do we need to respect the different cultures?
 I wonder what is an example of the counterculture in South Korea.
