What refers to a group's shared beliefs, values, norms and symbols?

  1. Race

  2. Class

  3. Culture

  4. Social structure

The correct answer is: Culture

Culture refers to a group's shared beliefs, values, norms, and symbols. It encompasses the customs, traditions, and ideas that are passed down from generation to generation within a particular society. Race refers to physical characteristics, such as skin color, and is not a shared belief or value among a group. Class refers to a social hierarchy based on economic status and does not necessarily pertain to shared beliefs and values. Social structure refers to the organization of society and does not encompass shared beliefs and values. Therefore, culture is the most appropriate answer for this question.
