nses to hot temperatures. Australian's tend to wear light, brief clothing, whereas Arabian cultures try to cover up. What seems normal within one culture is an accepted practice in another.Cultural differences are observed at intersociety levels, between different societies. "Burping a baby" is one example. Mothers in Great Britain and the U.S.A believe the act to be universal, instead it has been socially constructed. Women in countries such as Czechoslovakia do not practice this. Cultural differences are also observed at an intrasocietal level, within a society. Beach behaviour displays this, where "different characters" (of different social class) are found at particular beaches. Areas such as Elwood attract a lower class compared with the area of Lorne.Social structure aids a sociological understanding, by acting as a "heuristic device". When addressing the question "What would have happened if Adolf Hitler had not been born?", the distinction between agency and structure must be defined. People who believe the agency end of the continuum (in this case the individual-Hitler) would say that results were a direct result of him. However a structural understanding, would see individuals believing that if it were not for Adolf, another individual would have played the historical role that Hitler did.Structural analysis likes to compare societies. Through the study of epidemiology, the AIDS epidemic indicates that it is more widespread in Africa than in other parts of the world. In particular, organisation of African societies must be studied to complete a structural explanation.Ideology of victim blaming is another form of structural analysis. In the incidence of rape women are sometimes blamed, this may have been because of the suggestive clothing she was wearing at the time. However the conclusion pays inadequate attention to the structural context, such as women having a right to "wear what men having a right to "wear what they want"....
