Types of Cultures
Cultures can be roughly divided into two categories: Contextual Cultures and Cultivars.
- Contextual Cultures (e.g., sports team fanbases, clubs, local drinking cultures, etc.) only appear in a specific contextual framework.
- Cultivars are the lenses that color an individual’s view of reality. This is the type of culture most of the book is focused on investigating.
Cultivars themselves can be thought of as belonging to one (or more) of a few broad groups that warrant some exploration before we proceed.
