Which of these is NOT a cultural level discussed in this chapter?

• A. International level
• B. Local level
• C. National level
• D. Global level

Answer: (A)

Understanding cultural levels helps you see how culture operates at different scales. This chapter organizes culture into local, national, and global levels. The local level looks at community customs, languages, and everyday practices. The national level examines shared values, institutions, and symbols that bind people within a country. The global level analyzes how cultures influence one another across borders through media, migration, trade, and transnational networks. An international level would describe relations between nations, which isn’t treated as a separate layer here; those cross-border dynamics are addressed within the global level. Therefore, international is not a separate cultural level in this chapter.
