Culture (121-125)
-the enduring behaviors, ideas, attitudes and traditions shared by a large group of people and transmitted from one generation to the next
Culture is transmitted across generations partly by what Harris calls “parents’-group-to-children’s-group-effect”
Culture Terms:
Norm: an understood rule for accepted and expected behavior. Norms prescribe “proper” behavior
Personal space: the buffer zone we like to maintain around our bodies
Memes: self=replicating ideas, fashions, innovations passed from person to person

Cultures vary in their pace of life
Children of communal cultures grow up with a stronger sense of “family self”
Within a larger culture, ethnic subgroups may differ in their behavior and yet be influenced by the dame underlying processes
