Question

We occasionally see stories in the media about a high profile individual, such as a religious or political leader who gets caught doing something the society views as wrong, despite the individual often being seen as a moral leader. These are examples of a disconnect between which two cultural concepts?

Answer 1

Ideal culture and real culture.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Ideal culture refers to the values and norms the society wants to achieve.

• Real culture refers to the values that society actually has.

The example given is a good example of a disconnection between ideal and real culture, since the high profile individual is seen as such a role model and an example of values the society wants to achieve, so when they are caught doing something wrong, society does feel a disconnection between the image they had of them (ideal culture) and how they actually are (real culture)
