  5. Culture • Culture is the man-made part of the environment. (It is learned & passed on) • Cultural trait is a single attribute of a culture such as chopsticks. • Cultural region is a portion of the earth occupied by people who share cultural traits such as religions, languages, political organizations, etc. • Cultural realm-is a large segment of the earth with uniformity in cultural characteristics such as “Latin America”

  6. Acculturation-immigrant populations take on enough of the values, attitudes and customs of the receiving society to function economically and socially. • Assimilation-the complete blending with the host culture and the loss of most if not all of a groups previous distinctive ethnic traits. • Syncretism-the process of fusing the immigrant culture with the native or adjacent culture. E.g. Haitian mix of Catholic and African voodoo religious practices, Tex-Mex cuisine in the Southwest. • Cultural convergence-the sharing of technologies, cultural traits and artifacts among widely separated societies.

  7. Cultural Hearth-centers of innovation and invention, the center or cradle of a culture.

  8. Cultural perceptions-like perceptual regions, there are many intangible elements that define a region’s personality. • Consider the South as a Cultural Region; • Houses with porches • Foods like grits, greens and cornbread. • Drawl or dialects like Cajun. • Southern Baptist-Bible Belt • Slow pace of life and courtesy, hospitality.

  10. Cultural Diffusion • Cultural diffusion or spatial diffusion is the spread of an idea or innovation from its source to other cultures. • Diffusion occurs through the movement of people, goods or ideas. • Carl Sauer focused on cultural diffusion in his book Agricultural Origins and Dispersals (1952)

  11. Types of Diffusion • There are two main types of Diffusion: • Expansion Diffusion • The spread of an item or idea from one place to others. In the process it remains and often strengthens in the origin area. • Contagious diffusion-rapid widespread diffusion by direct contact. Affects all areas uniformly as it spreads outward. E.g. the spread of Islam. • Hierarchical diffusion-or cascade diffusion-the process of spreading ideas first between large cities and only later to smaller cities. • Stimulus diffusion-the spread of an underlying principle even though the main idea is not spread. E.g. industrialization • Relocation Diffusion • The innovation or idea is physically carried to new areas by migrating individuals or populations. E.g. Christianity brought to the New World by missionaries and colonists.

  12. Examples • Expansion diffusion has a snowball effect-it gains momentum as it moves. It is happening much more rapidly today due to the technology of fax machines, computers, the internet, satellite links for TV, telephone, etc. • Another example of contagious diffusion-spread of soccer as a college sport-Eastern ivy-league schools first. • Hierarchical diffusion is also known as cascade diffusion-ideas spread from nodes of power or authority to other nodes of power-AIDS, Christianity, Hip-hop music, rap and the use of the fax machine are all examples of Hierarchical diffusion. • The early 19th century Cholera outbreak in the US was an example of relocation diffusion and hierarchical diffusion-it spread from city to nearby city via water transportation-it spread slowly until the railroad network spread it much more rapidly via relocation diffusion.

  13. A Contagious Diffusion B Hierarchical Diffusion

  14. Factors that delay diffusion: • Time-distance decay-the farther way and the longer it takes to reach an area, the less likely it will be adopted. • Cultural barriers may pose obstacles to cultural diffusion-taboos or religious beliefs. • Cultural lag-when a social group is economically or psychologically unresponsive to change.
