Investigation and Comparing Cultural Taste among Metropolitans, Cities and Villages

The present paper investigates the difference kind of cultural consumption among metropolitan, urban, and rural communities. Using the statistical data of a national survey, authors compare the cultural taste of people who live in the villages, cities, and metropolitans. In this regard, we consider the kind of cultural consumption in society with structural approaches and individualizing reasoning in order to get the results.
The study is based on consistency approach belongs to Piere Bourdieu, since that his theory due to stress on socializing special groups in lifetime and the effect of environment and family origin on people’s taste selections can explain the difference of cultural consumption pattern in above- mentioned three.
With regard to the findings and achieving to definite patterns, it cannot be said that cultural life style has been individualized in Iran society since that by individualization of a behavior in a scope, finding the pattern in that scope becomes difficult. Also the differences show that our society is not a mass one with a same culture. So Ulrich Beck theory and Frankfurt school view are not confirmed referring to the findings of this research. And According to Piere Bourdieu theory the life style, in our society, is still affected by society structures.
