What is a group of people with distinct values, attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs that differentiate them from the larger culture called?

• A. Subculture
• B. Culture
• C. Ethnicity
• D. Norms

Answer: (A)

This describes a subculture. A subculture is a group within a larger culture that develops distinct values, attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs that set it apart from the mainstream while still existing within the overall society. In contrast, culture is the broad system of shared meanings and practices of a society; ethnicity refers to shared heritage or lineage, and norms are the expected behaviors within a culture, not separate groups themselves.
