Culture and Subcultures

The unique beliefs, values and customs of spesific subcultures


1

The core cultural values and customs that are shared by most of the
2 population, regardless of spesific subcultural memberships
Nationality & Ethnicity Subcultures
America’s immigrants brought with them cultural values
and lifestyles that blended into the American culture
(i.e., the “melting pot” concept). Each cultural ancestry
has blended, to some extent, into the diversity of the
United States, which many believe to be the country’s
key strength.
Religious Affiliation Subcultures
The United States reportedly has more than 200 different organized religious affiliations (or
subcultures). Of this number, Protestant denominations, Roman Catholicism, Islam, and
Judaism are the principal organized religious faiths. The members of all these religious groups
at times make purchase decisions that are influenced by their religious identity. Commonly,
consumer behavior is directly affected by religion in terms of products that are symbolically
and ritualistically associated with the celebration of various religious holi- days. For example,
Christmas has become the major gift-purchasing season of the year.
Geographic Subcultures

Anyone who has traveled across the United States has


probably noted many geographic subcultures in
consumption behavior, especially when it comes to food
and drink. For example, a “mug” of black coffee typifies
the West, whereas a “cup” of coffee with milk and sugar
is preferred in the East.
Gender Subcultures
Each generation is a distinct subculture and market
segment, because its members have unique priori- ties and
purchase patterns. For instance, don’t you listen to
different music than your parents and grandparents, dress
differently, enjoy different apps and social media,
different forms of entertainment, and visit different
websites? Important shifts occur in an individual’s
demand for products and services as he or she goes from
being a dependent child to a retired senior citizen.
