pääkulttuuri
Pääkulttuuri, often translated as "main culture" or "dominant culture," refers to the prevailing set of beliefs, values, customs, and practices that are widely shared and accepted within a society. It is the culture that is most visible and influential, often setting the norms and standards for behavior and expression. The main culture is typically associated with the majority population or the group that holds significant social, economic, or political power. It influences institutions like education, media, and government, shaping the collective identity and worldview of a society.
The concept of pääkulttuuri is distinct from subcultures, which are smaller groups within a larger society
