This standard asks you to analyse and explain the culture of a group of people – whether that's an iwi (tribe), age group, sports team, or any community with shared practices and beliefs. You need to describe the key features of their culture, connect them to how the group operates, and compare their culture to other groups using good evidence. You'll also need to think about what internal and external factors might change how that culture looks over time.
You explain the main features of the group's culture and link them to how the group operates, with some supporting evidence.
You explain the key cultural features and their connection to the group's organisation, compare the culture to another group's using well-chosen evidence, and discuss some factors that might affect it over time.
You thoughtfully analyse the cultural features and their links to how the group functions, make careful comparisons to other cultures with detailed evidence, and show clear understanding of how both internal and external forces could change the culture in the future.
