The components of culture:
1. Technology: a society culture of not only physical objects, but also the rules for using those objects. Sociologist sometimes refer to this combination of object and rules as technology
2. Symbol: the use of symbols is a very basis of human culture. It is through symbols that we create our culture and communicate it to group members
3. Language: One of the most obvious aspects of any culture is its language. Language is the organization of written and spoken symbols into a standardized system

The group shared the gain they hunted with all the members
5. Norms: all groups create norms to in force their cultural values. Norms are shared rules of conduct that tell people how to act in specific situations. Norms also vary in the strictness in which they are enforced. Folkways are norms that describe socially acceptable behaviors, but do not have great moral significance attached to them. Mores have great morals significance attached to them. This relation exists because the violation of such rules endangers society’s well being and stability. Example:dishonesty, fraud, and murder. Are great threats of society. Society has established punishments for violation mores in order to protect the social well being.
