Although there are so many unique cultures
and societies, there are some cultural practices that are universal. In the
middle of the diversity of human cultural behavior, there are some common
characteristics that are found in virtually all societies. Cultural
universality refers to the practices, beliefs, values, norms, material things,
etc., which is observed in all societies in the world, or different social
groups within of a society.
For example, every culture has a word that
complex language. All societies have recognized some kind of family system in
which there are values associated with the care of children. The institution
of marriage, religious rituals, and all rights are cultural universals. All
societies have some form of incest prohibition. Anthropologist determined more
different cultural universals include state of the art, dance, body
decorations, games, gift giving, jokes and the rules of hygiene. Cultural
universals condition the behavior of similarity between individuals in a given
society or society. They found no difference in the actions and behavior,
lifestyle, attitude, behavior, etc can be made.
