The following was developed by Sir Julian Huxley
Artifact – objects that allow us to live, objects that allow us to feed, cloth, house, defend, transport and amuse us – eg. Spoon - Anthropology
Mentifact – Ideas, beliefs, how a culture expresses itself, individual behaviour, what is right and wrong, what is accepted – eg. Religion, language and laws - Ideology
Sociofact – Social organization of culture, group behaviour, how individuals are to function in a group – eg. Families, politics, economics and tribes – Sociology
“A dwelling, for example, is an artifact providing shelter, it can be a sociofact reflecting the nature of the family and it can be a mentifact summarizing a cultural groups convictions shown by design, orientation and building materials.”
![Page 8: Chapter 4 “Folk and Popular Culture”. “Culture is the agent, the natural area is the medium, the cultural landscape is the result’ - Carl Sauer Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649f005503460f94c1673f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
One more example:
Clothing:
Artifact – offers protection
Sociofact – identifies an individual’s role in society – especially a uniform
Mentifact – reflects the values of the wearer – religious clothing, baggy pants, cowboy hat and boots, colour of clothing etc.
