Cultural Majority
A "Cultural Majority" refers to a group within a society that holds the most influence over cultural norms, values, and practices. This group often shapes the dominant language, traditions, and social behaviors, which can affect laws, education, and media representation. The cultural majority typically enjoys greater visibility and resources compared to minority groups.
In many societies, the cultural majority is often linked to factors such as ethnicity, religion, or socioeconomic status. For example, in the United States, the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant population has historically been considered the cultural majority, influencing various aspects of American life, including politics and popular culture.
