Culture


Food is a prime example of culture. In the Armenian culture, Sarma is a popular dish. It has become quite popular in America as well, but the Americans know it as "wrapped/stuffed grape leaves"


 Without a doubt, technology is a vital aspect of material culture, especially in America. Nowadays, most people are connected and dependent on their iPhones. Thanks a lot, Steve Jobs!


 Speed limit signs are an example of formal norms. If a driver does not follow this speed limit, they are breaking the law and risking the chance of getting pulled over and receiving a ticket.


 Symbolic culture are the ideas associated with a cultural group. The Armenian flag has three colors - red, blue, and orange. Red symbolizes the blood of our freedom fighters, blue symbolizes country's piece, and orange symbolizes the abundant amount of wheat grown in Armenia.


 Gestures are signs we make with our bodies. This particular gesture normally means 'peace,' or as Tyga once said, 'chuckin' up the deuces,' which obviously means goodbye.
