Co-culture
It has been suggested that this article be merged into Subculture. (Discuss) Proposed since March 2012. |
Co-cultures are defined as groups of people or social communities who exhibit and are united by significant, distinct cultural differences from the dominant culture within which they are embedded.[1] These groups and communities may define themselves based on any one or several characteristics such as race, age, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation.[1] Co-cultures are often referred to as "minorities" in relation to the dominant culture ("majority") or as "sub-cultures"; the term co-culture, however, attempts to distinguish these co-existing cultures without a value judgment of being of less importance (minor) or of lower status (sub).
