What is meant by ‘cultural dope’?

Garfinkel argues that mainstream sociology has typically portrayed man as a ‘cultural dope ‘who simply acts out the standardized directives provided by the culture of his society.

Garfinkel states that ‘By’ “cultural dope” I refer to the main-in-the-sociologist’s society who produces the stable features of society by acting in compliance with reestablished and legitimate alternatives of action that the common culture provides.’
