The following statements are true:
- Culture can be defined as a repetitive act that a group performs until it becomes a characteristic of a group.
- Lists or collections of customs can be used to define a culture.
- Culture refers to a habit that is widely adopted by a group of people.
- In contrast to popular culture, folk culture is more likely to vary from time to time at a given place.
- Although folk cultures have the same process of origin as popular culture, they have a more limited process of diffusion.
To determine which statement is true, let's break down each option:
Statement 1: "Culture can be defined as a repetitive act that a group performs until it becomes a characteristic of a group."
Statement 2: "Lists or collections of customs can be used to define a culture."
Statement 3: "Culture refers to a habit that is widely adopted by a group of people."
Statement 4: "In contrast to popular culture, folk culture is more likely to vary from time to time at a given place."
Statement 5: "Although folk cultures have the same process of origin as popular culture, they have a more limited process of diffusion."
Now, in order to determine which statement is true, we can use the process of elimination. By researching and understanding the definitions and characteristics of culture, we can narrow down our options.
To start, we can eliminate statements 1, 2, and 3 as they all describe similar definitions of culture, emphasizing repetitive acts, customs, and habits adopted by a group. Since these are duplicates, only one of these statements can be true.
Moving on, let's analyze the remaining options. Statement 4 suggests that folk culture is more likely to vary over time at a given place compared to popular culture. Statement 5 claims that folk cultures have a more limited process of diffusion compared to popular culture. These statements highlight the differences between folk and popular culture, but we need to determine which one is true.
To find the answer, we need to understand the definitions of folk culture and popular culture. Folk culture represents the cultural practices and traditions of small, homogeneous groups living in traditional societies, exhibiting local variation and limited diffusion. Popular culture, on the other hand, refers to the cultural trends, products, and practices that are widespread and commonly adopted by a large population.
Based on this understanding, we can conclude that Statement 4 is true. Folk culture is more likely to vary from time to time at a given place compared to popular culture. This aligns with the definition and characteristics of folk culture.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
In contrast to popular culture, folk culture is more likely to vary from time to time at a given place.
