    The dominant culture in a society refers to the established language, religion, behavior, values, rituals, and social customs. These traits are often the norm for the society as a whole.Residual refers to the cultural beliefs and practices that are derived from a much earlier era Residual cultures are cultural elements that were formed in the past and are relevant in the present. Residuals elements are always present within the dominant culture. These residuals are constantly being reinterpreted, diluted and projected in order to become absorbed in dominant culture.
