hello there geographers and welcome to
the mr. sin Channel in this video we're
gonna be talking about modern culture or
global culture formerly known as pop
culture we'll also be talking about folk
culture and indigenous cultures
[Music]
so in this video we're talking about
these three different cultures we're
gonna be talking about how they diffuse
try to explain them talk about how they
change over time and try to provide a
couple examples along the way if you
find value in the video please consider
subscribing and liking the video also
make sure you're taking notes you can
use your own notes or feel free to use
my notes and you can find those in the
description below now let's get into our
first culture which is going to be our
modern global or if you remember from
old AP human geography pop culture so
when talking about modern culture it's
going to be really important to
understand that this culture develops in
more developed countries see here where
we have wealth we are able to see this
culture start to take off this culture
forms in a diverse society where even
though people's personal traits might be
very different they start to develop
cellular habits and these habits diffuse
through hierarchical diffusion modern
culture or global culture or pop culture
whatever you want to call it diffuses
throughout notes and income is the
biggest obstacle here it's not physical
barriers that are gonna prevent this
form of culture from spreading the
Internet has actually helped to fuse pop
culture modern culture or global culture
quickly throughout the world and it
diffuses through areas that have access
to wealth and when areas have more time
for leisure they're able to then
innovate essentially more on it they're
able to have more time to experiment and
try things modern culture is going to
change a lot over time and that's
because of how fast society moves and
this is also why some people will be
hesitant and try to prevent modern
culture from influencing their own like
the Amish for example they're an example
for the folk culture and we'll get to
them in a second but they prevent
internet access and other things to the
modern world because they're trying to
stop the spread of modern culture into
their own this is also why we start to
see certain languages defuse really
quickly throughout the world due to new
technologies like communication the
Internet and the access of wealth that's
starting to spread so the big thing to
remember for modern culture is that it
is found in more developed countries at
least originally the North America and
Europe are great examples
it spreads through hierarchical
diffusion and it's going to be found in
diverse societies now folk culture on
the other hand is practiced by a small
homogenous group we don't have a lot of
diversity here this culture diffuses
through relocation diffusion here people
are not necessarily trying to get more
numbers for their culture they're more
protecting just what they know here
we're going to see where family and
religion play a larger role in society
where with pop culture modern culture
it's more of a government or larger
institutions that play a big role the
Amish I've already mentioned they're a
great example of a full culture one of
the things that's unique to about folk
culture is it's hard to find the hearth
that's kind of anonymous it comes from
multiple areas the Amish for example
came from Switzerland Germany and also
France they migrated to the United
States and then migrated throughout the
US based on land prices they relocated
during it so the her start to die off as
they relocated they don't try to gain
numbers they're just trying to protect
what they know and that's an important
aspect of folk culture it's going to be
a smaller society here again diffusion
is going to be traditionally through
relocation diffusion and we're also
going to see a rejection of kind of
modern daylight our next culture is
indigenous culture today there's over
350 million indigenous people in the
world it's about 5% of the world's
population they're spread throughout the
entire world the big thing you have to
understand with indigenous culture is
it's a subset of folk culture indigenous
culture is referencing to the first
people that's settled in an area now
this can get really confusing because
there's been a lot of movement of people
so to be an indigenous culture an
indigenous group of people you have to
be the first people that settled at the
location and you also have to still be
there it's easy when we're talking about
the Americas or Australia we can look at
the Native Americans who were here
before Columbus and the Europeans came
over however it does get pretty muddy
and hard to figure out when we're
talking about Europe Africa and Asia and
that's just because of how much movement
there's been of people the big thing to
know about indigenous culture though is
indigenous people have been living in
that spot and are still they are the
original settlers of an area and
often times they face racial
discrimination or have lost power or
have been even possibly shifted in their
land due to foreign entities and that
could be people or governments or even
businesses so indigenous culture is the
first settlements that are in an area
they are going to protect their culture
as best they can
it's going to be again a subset of folk
culture so relocation diffusion is
normally how it gets there and they're
trying to stay in that area they're not
going to be changing as much over time
unless there's outside forces that are
impacted upon them and those are the
three different culture classifications
that you have to have a good
understanding of when taking AP human
geography these concepts will come back
up when you're talking about religion or
diffusion and in other units as well
