Class and Culture

Introduction Culture is often regarded as an advantageous or limiting factor in social, political and economic development in society around the world. Through this understanding, it was judged that there is a close relationship between the class and the culture. This relationship has been investigated by researchers like Pierre Bourdieu previously. They think that this category affects culture and hence culture influences life opportunities, income and other economic parameters (Lane 2000, p.

Because the most basic group in society is social class, the main cultural composition is class culture. Class culture is an essential element of society like class ideology, but they are usually mediated by each other and external factors. In addition, class cultures are ranked inequality "in opposition, control, subordination, along the scale of" culture ", just as different groups and classes are not equal in the class society. We can see how the concept of hegemony is useful for understanding cultural realm and ideological and political realm. The struggle against mainstream culture can try to resist changing it, and in some cases even trying to overthrow its hegemonic power.

The original theoretical application of cultural control is Marxist analysis of "economic class" (foundation and superstructure), Antonio Gram chassis developed to understand "social class"; therefore cultural hegemony was proposed , The dominant class (bourgeois culture) The mainstream cultural norm imposed by hegemony should not be regarded as natural and inevitable, but should be regarded as an artificial social structure (institution, custom, belief). And similarly, investigations must be done to discover their philosophical roots as a tool for domination of the social class. This type of knowledge habit is indispensable for liberating proletariat intellectuals and politics, so workers, peasants, urban and rural people, especially those who targets the social and economic needs of the social class You can create a working - class culture of.

A sociologist who studied the class difference since the 1970s discovered that everyone in the social class possesses its own cultural characteristics. This phenomenon known as a class culture has proven to have a strong influence on people's daily lives. We believe that class culture influences the way children grow, how to build romantic relationships, how to maintain, and for the home. The overall tendency that individuals are mainly related to their own equality strengthens the difference between the classes. Since individual social networks tend to belong to their own classes, they adapt and learn values ​​and behaviors of their classes. Due to the mobility of the classes, in some cases individuals may also adapt to different class cultures as social order goes up and down. Nevertheless, the influence of class culture on the social class is important.
