England and Stalin
Elizabethan England and Russia during Stalin There are and have been many cultures upon this earth. There are cultures that might seem weird to us and cultures that look at us in wonderment. They have different lifestyles and whole different outlooks on life. Studying cultures is a work in itself. By studying and comparing other cultures, we can find out more about our culture and ourselves. Cultures contain different folkways. In the Random House Dictionary, folkways is defined as "the ways of living and acting in a human group, built up without conscious design but serving as compelling guides of conduct"(551).

Neighbors would turn their neighbors in for any suspicious acts. I think a lot can be learned by comparing the folkways of Elizabethan England and Stalin's Russia. Stalin lived from 1879 -1953 (Adler p. Both of their social ways were guided by fear. Elizabeth feared the different religions and forced people to go to the protestant church.
