Culture is the focus of social agency. Please describe the characteristics of culture and the relationships between the individual, meaningful symbols, diverse behavioral patterns, and the dynamics of cultural change. In contrast to Kottak, I place a great deal of emphasis on social action [social relationships] and existential meaningful symbols creating the sociocultural structure. Why do you believe I construct culture and social agency in this fashion? What is your supposition; are symbols and action complimentary in the human experience.
