Social Behavior and Phenomena
Social behavior and phenomena are broad and complicated

sociological concepts. These involve every event between at
least two individuals and include all knowledge and
experiences a person acquires in the entirety of his or her
lifetime.
Social phenomena are the individual, external, and social

constructions that influence a person’s life and development.
The table below shows some examples of social behavior
and phenomena.
Cultural Behavior and Phenomena
Also known as the bandwagon effect, a cultural behavior is

an event where certain individuals behave a certain way
merely because other persons do as well.
A cultural phenomenon happens when something or
someone gains widespread popularity. However, it is
noteworthy that it is not the subject that is the cultural
phenomenon but rather the process of becoming famous.
The table below shows some examples of cultural behavior
and phenomena.
Political Behavior and Phenomena
In sociology, political behavior and phenomena include

events through which authority, governance, and public
opinion are put into practice.
A political behavior of a person or a group may be influenced

participation. An example of an act of political behavior is Interactions within Society
