| | It reflects in part a reaction against earlier Western discourses based on an opposition between "culture" and "nature", according to which some human beings lived in a "state of nature". | | | Such ethnographers and their students promoted the idea of "cultural relativism", the view that one can only understand another person's beliefs and behaviors in the context of the culture in which he or she lived. | | | American "cultural anthropologists" focused on the ways people expressed their view of themselves and their world, especially in symbolic forms (such as art and myths). |

| | The range of topics studied by social anthropologists is also immense - from systems of healing to the creation of national identity; from cultures of resistance to poetry and sexuality; from work to religion. | | | Social (or cultural) anthropologists seek to understand and communicate cultural difference and the many ways people maintain and change culture in response to new political and economic contexts. | | | In comparison to other social science subjects social anthropology addresses the broadest possible range of social diversity - social anthropologists study a huge diversity of peoples, close at “home” (wherever that may be) and on the other side of the world. |

| | It is also important to keep in mind, according to Clifford, that local cultures (sub-cultures) are often established in opposition to what might be termed the official culture--the status quo--defined by those with significant access to the media. | | | In many cases, this opposition is between the individual, or small group, and the larger cultural body used as a sign of social cohesion and control. | | | While popular culture is often defined as mass culture--the culture of the majority--it can also be seen as a site of continual change, adaptation, and subversion. |
