Which term refers to a group living within a larger society that shares values, beliefs, or behaviors different from the rest?

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

Answer: (B)

Micro-Culture is the idea of a smaller group within a larger society that keeps its own values, beliefs, and behaviors that are different from the surrounding culture. These groups form around shared identities or interests and develop their own norms while still living in the same broader community. That matches the description of a group living inside a larger society with distinctive patterns of life. The other terms aren’t about a subgroup: macro-culture refers to the broad, dominant culture; holism is a way of studying systems by looking at all parts together; symbols are the signs and meanings used within a culture. So the best fit is micro-culture.
