Sociologists stress that a gap always exists between ideal culture and real culture in a society. Ideal culture refers to the values and standards of behavior that people actually follow; whereas real culture refers to the values and standards of behavior that people in a society profess to hold. True or false?

Respuesta :

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In sociology, we use the terms of ideal culture and real culture:

  • Real culture refers to the values and behaviors that one society actually holds and follows and sticks to.
  • On the other hand, ideal culture refers to the values and behaviors that one society claims they hold (when they actually don't really do that)

This example says that  Ideal culture refers to the values and standards of behavior that people actually follow; whereas real culture refers to the values and standards of behavior that people in a society profess to hold. We can observe that the definitions are not right (they are actually the opposite way around) and therefore this statement is false.
