Understanding Tight and Loose Cultures

The discussion delves into the concept of tight and loose cultures. Tight cultures, characterized by strict social norms, exhibit more order, less crime, and better self-control. In contrast, loose cultures, with more permissive norms, are associated with openness, creativity, and adaptability. The balance between order and openness impacts behavior, with tight cultures emphasizing uniformity and self-regulation, while loose cultures prioritize tolerance and creativity.
