What term is used to define a set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices?

  1. Norms

  2. Rituals

  3. Culture

  4. Values

The correct answer is: Culture

Culture is the correct term to define a set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices. Norms refer to specific rules that guide behavior in a group, rituals are specific actions or traditions, and values are personal beliefs. While all of these may be a part of culture, they do not encompass the broader definition of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices. Therefore, culture is the most accurate term for this concept.
