Real culture vs ideal culture?

Thanks

Real culture is there now and ideal culture is future wise. Which is better it be hard to say because the're both are very good.

Horrible explanation...

Aaah, a sociology question. Ideal culture is what everyone in a culture wants to believe, real culture is how it really is.

Example:

Ideal - Don't have sex until you're married.
Real - Most people have it before marriage in our culture.

That was the best example I could think of off the top of my head. If you want a better explanation, just ask, and I'll try to think of some more.

Real culture is that of reality. The things that are acutally happening opposed to the way a person would like things in society, as themselves, etc, to be (ideal culture)
