Cultural determinism is an idea from sociology (the study of how humans act in groups) and anthropology (the study of humans).[1]
Cultural determinism is the thought that how people think and act is greatly shaped by the culture they grow up in. A culture is the common history and ways of life within a group of people.[2]
Cultural determinism is on a spectrum – it is possible to agree with cultural determination a lot, a little, or not at all. If someone is strongly culturally deterministic, they believe that a person is mainly controlled by their culture. If someone is weakly culturally deterministic, they believe that a person is barely controlled by their culture. Many cultural anthropologists use theories that have varying levels of cultural determinism within them.[3]
