A shared, official language unites people. Everyone being able to understand each other, even at a rudimentary level, can help prevent petty squabbles and overcome differences. And a common means of communication can mean safer roads and more accurate medical diagnoses.

A cultural divide due to languages restricts people from socializing with each other. Take, for example, a person from a British-English speaking background. For a person who is a non-native in an English-speaking country, embracing the region’s culture can be difficult.

How the way we talk both unites and divides us

• You write in the book’s introduction that it’s not exactly what one says, but how they say it that gives immense power to speech.
• You also discuss racial discrimination based on speech—for example, the negative views of African American English.
• Where does this kind of speech discrimination come from?

The universal language — Music brings cultures together Separated by continents, the people don’t speak the same language, and the cultures are very different, but they all share one thing — expression through music. “Music is an international language,” Chettri said.

While the worlds of science, commerce and popular culture unite around English, people are killing each other because they speak different languages. Language divides as much as does land or blood, and almost as much as religion.

Culture, or the shared experiences, beliefs and values that make each organization unique, has the power to unify people around a common purpose, or divide individuals in a way that undermines it. Culture provides a sense of belonging that supports your organization’s mission.

Just as a common language is the most important factor unifying a culture, a common culture seems to be one of the most important factors unifying a nation.

It is something we learn and share and pass down through generations. Culture has the ability to both unify (or bring us together in harmony) and divide us. Cultural divide refers to the factors that create rifts in our society and can make it more difficult for people to live happily together.

A cultural divide is the virtual barrier caused by cultural differences, that hinder interactions, and harmonious exchange between people of different cultures.

Culture provides guidelines to people on how to live. Conversely, society is a structure that provides the way people organise themselves. Culture comprise of beliefs, values and practices of a group. In contrast, society comprises of individuals who share common beliefs, practices, customs, etc.

Divisions within a society can be based on several different factors, including age, sex, religion, residence, kinship and common economic interest. People of the same age usually have similar interests and attitudes. Young people tend to have different values, attitudes and aims in life from those of older people.

In short, undoubtedly, economy, mechanical solidarity or institutions are the most effective elements which hold societies together but simple traditions or religious duties hold people well-balanced as well.

In answer to the question, “What holds society together?” Durkheim answered: collective consciousness. The members of a society share a culture to some extent.

HOW ARE SOCIETIES ORGANIZED? All societies are organized around an unequal division of labor and decision-making. Modern societies are expected to provide protection, law and order, economic security, and a sense of belonging to their members.

Answer: Social stability is necessary for a strong society, and adequate socialization and social integration are necessary for social stability. Society’s social institutions perform important functions to help ensure social stability. Slow social change is desirable, but rapid social change threatens social order.

Social structure guides people’s behaviors. People develop these perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors from their place in the social structure, and they act accordingly. All of the components of social structure work together to maintain social order by limiting, guiding, and organizing human behavior.

Social structures and cultures are founded upon social interactions. By interacting with one another, people design rules, institutions and systems within which they seek to live. Symbols are used to communicate the expectations of a given society to those new to it, either children or outsiders.

This perspective is derived from the works of Karl Marx, who saw society as fragmented into groups that compete for social and economic resources. Social order is maintained by domination, with power in the hands of those with the greatest political, economic, and social resources….

In the United States, we have a social order that promotes certain standards of beliefs and behaviors in order to keep things stable. For example, citizens work collaboratively with the government and judicial system to establish laws and social expectations that reward good behaviors and punish bad behaviors.

Social order is the tendency of social institutions to resist and regulate change. It is useful as it provides a backdrop and relativity to compare social change. Thus, social order is maintained by the people who are in power because they do not want to lose control over the societal norms and access to resources.

Social order is a necessary feature of any society and it is deeply important for building a sense of belonging and connection with others. At the same time, social order is also responsible for producing and maintaining oppression.

Social order is a core theoretical issue in the social sciences. The problem arises because human beings are both individual and social. If we were each living alone on a private planet, we could do what ever we wanted and would never have to worry about anyone else.

Sociologists generally posit three classes: upper, working (or lower), and middle.

Therefore, we can speculate that IF a condition could exist without social norms, AND there are no other guidance factors in individual development, society would be anarchic, with consequences of much slower intellectual and community development. It would be a much more primitive and animalistic existence.

To clarify, a culture represents the beliefs, practices and artifacts of a group, while society represents the social structures and organization of the people who share those beliefs and practices. Neither society nor culture could exist without the other.

For a better society, different types of political and judicial rules has to be improved. For example: 1) The the judicial laws and regulations should be updated in the gap of some years in order to prevent the flaws in those laws and regulations.

A state without laws and government would be anarchy. By definition anarchy is a state of disorder due to the absence or recognition of an authority figure. Life without some type of rules to control us would literally be a state of disorder. If there were no laws, people would do as they pleased.

Answer: The result is inequality. Explanation: If people had different rules, people will think they have superiority and will misunderstand each other.

People are incredibly social beings, and we rely heavily on our interactions with others to thrive, and even survive, in the world. To avoid chaos in these interactions, humans create social norms. These rules and regulations establish appropriate and acceptable ways for us to act and respond to each other.

Laws protect our general safety, and ensure our rights as citizens against abuses by other people, by organizations, and by the government itself. We have laws to help provide for our general safety. Speed limits and traffic laws exist so that we drive in a safe manner.
