Which term refers to a group within a larger society that shares values, beliefs, or interests different from the macro-culture?

• A. Macro-Culture
• B. Worldview
• C. Micro-Culture
• D. Symbols

Answer: (C)

Micro-culture describes a group within a larger society that shares values, beliefs, or interests different from the surrounding culture. It captures how smaller communities develop their own norms, language, rituals, and symbols while living inside the broader macro-culture. These groups can form around work, hobbies, ethnicity, religion, or regional background, shaping how members interact and identify themselves without replacing the dominant culture. Macro-culture is the broad, dominant culture; worldview is the overall belief system a group holds; symbols are signs that carry meaning within a culture. So the best term for that group is micro-culture.
