Which of the following is a similarity between elements of folk culture and popular culture?

Question

A: A cultural element originates at a hearth

B: Cultural practices are sustainable

C: Cultural elements diffuse rapidly

D: Cultural practices diffuse primarily through relocation diffusion

E: Access to cultural elements is limited primarily by financial means

Answer 1

The correct answer is C: Cultural elements diffuse rapidly.

Both folk culture and popular culture can experience diffusion, though the mechanisms and rates may differ. While folk culture typically spreads more slowly and through specific community practices, popular culture tends to diffuse more quickly, often influenced by mass media and global connectivity. However, the idea that cultural elements can diffuse rapidly is a similarity between the two.
