    This document discusses key concepts in cultural diversity and sociology including culture, symbols, values, norms, and cultural traits of Americans. It defines symbols as things that represent ideas and gives examples such as flags, logos, and gestures. Values determine the character of social groups and are expressed differently among upper, middle, and lower classes as well as other groups. Norms are unwritten rules of behavior that are often selectively applied and include folkways (casual norms) and mores (serious norms). Cultural diversity arises from differences in cultural traits and patterns among Americans.
