A dominant culture

• When a large group has the same culture, we call this a dominant culture

A dominant culture within a society.

Dutch culture is dominant in the Netherlands. We have common values: freedom, equality, frugality, and therefore consider standards such as freedom of expression, non-discrimination and frugal living important. We have the same habits: the same language, leave home between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five and eat a hot meal around six o'clock in the evening.

In addition to the dominant culture, we also have subcultures in our society.
