What do most sociologists agree upon regarding culture?

  1. It causes social change

  2. It is static

  3. It is shared universally

  4. It is learned through institutions

The correct answer is: It is learned through institutions

Most sociologists agree that culture is not static (choice B) and can be subject to change. While culture can play a role in causing social change (choice A), it is not the sole cause. Also, culture is not necessarily shared universally (choice C) as different societies have different cultural norms and practices. It is learned through institutions (choice D) such as family, education, and media, which shape individuals' beliefs, values, and behaviors within a specific society.
