1. Similarities in the human existence result in a shared, homogenous culture. As society changes, cultures may diverge and become distinct from one another. An example of this type of cultural divergence in the American experience is
a return to the traditional family living in a single family home.
the growth of cities with resulting lower population densities.
the differences between American and British spelling and pronunciation.
the change from colonial rule under Britain to self rule.

Cultural diversity inevitably develops in the course of cultural transmission.
Individuals are constantly misremembering and thus varying some piece of culture, as
well as making more deliberate variations. Learners will often put their own personal
twist on what they have been taught. Once such a new “cultural variant” exists, there
will be a tendency for it to be preserved. A woman’s children may pick up a variant
she created and spread it among their friends at school. They might then pass it on to
their families. If such cultural processes were all that were operating, cultural
diversity would increase without bound. In fact, although cultural diversity is great, it
is not boundless. Other social processes operate to select and winnow away less useful
cultural variants. This results in members of the same culture and sub-culture sharing
a large proportion of their cultural information.
