ASPECTS OF CULTURE: Values and norms
Values are relatively general beliefs that either define what is right and what is wrong or specify general preferences. A belief that homicide is wrong and a preference for modem art are both values. Norms, on the other hand, are relatively precise rules specifying which behaviors are permitted and which prohibited for group members. Note that in everyday usage, "norm" has a quite different meaning (it means average). Here again sociology has constructed its vocabulary by attaching a new meaning to a familiar word. When a member of a group breaks a group norm by engaging in a prohibited behavior, the other group members will typically sanction the deviant member. To sanction is to communicate disapproval in some way to the deviant member.SOURCE: http://hrsbstaff.ednet.ns.ca/waymac/Sociology/A%20Term%201/2.%20Culture/aspects_of_culture.htm
Also examples of culture are religion, language, heritage, financial class, and beliefs.

Asked in Sociology, The Difference Between
What are the differences between acculturation and enculturation?

Enculturation is learning one's own culture, a process
that is influenced strongly by home and family.
Acculturation, on the other hand, is learning aspects of a
culture other than one's own - particularly those aspects which
will enable the individual to survive in that culture.
Acculturation is learning the aspects of another culture,
especially the aspects that will let the individual to survive in
the culture. It is the learning process where knowledge is
transferred from one culture to another.
Enculturation is learning the prescribed patters of behaviour
that your culture states to give you full membership into that
community. This also raises the question of whether an expatraite
can ever be fully accepted into another culture.
