The sociocultural dimension refers to differences in cultural norms, values, and beliefs. In this case, the jihadist's call for violence highlights a difference in cultural sensitivity and tolerance towards criticism or mockery of religious figures or political leaders. David Letterman's jokes about American leaders reflect a cultural norm of freedom of speech and satire in the United States.
