What is reformulation?
Societies often adapt the culture traits they borrow to suit their own particular needs. For example, many of the societies in Africa, Asia, and South America that have adopted Christianity have blended Christian beliefs with elements of their traditional religions. Sociologists refer to this process of adapting borrowed cultural traits as reformulation.
How do cultural traits, cultural complexes, and cultural patterns differ?
A culture trait is an individual tool, act, or belief that is related to a particular situation or need, such as using a specific greeting when meeting someone. Individual culture traits combine to form the next level—culture complexes. A culture complex is a cluster of interrelated traits. The game of football is a culture complex that involves a variety of traits. Culture complexes combine to form larger levels called culture patterns. A culture pattern is the combination of a number of culture complexes into an interrelated whole. For example, the separate complexes of baseball, basketball, and other sports combine to form the American athletic pattern.
What are the three levels of cultural complexity that sociologists use to study different cultures? For example, if we look the concept of greetings in American culture, the first level would be the actual greetings, like saying "Hi" to a good friend. The second level would be to look at all of the greetings as components of a bigger idea, and the third level would be the whole concept of applying those greetings in different settings, the big picture of the original tool, act, or belief.
The features of a culture can be divided into three levels of complexity: traits, complexes, and patterns.
