    Ethnocentrism is judging other cultures based on the standards of one's own culture and viewing one's culture as superior. Cultural relativism is the idea that cultural norms, beliefs, and values depend on cultural context and should be evaluated without bias. Heritage includes tangible items like buildings and artifacts as well as intangible aspects of culture like stories, songs, customs, and traditions. Both tangible and intangible cultural heritage are important to preserve and pass on to future generations.

    2 Forms of Tangible and Intangible Heritage


    Heritage is anything that is
    considered important enough
    to be passed on to the future
    generations.
    Legacy is what remains after one’s time.
    Handed down from one generation to
    another, legacy magnifies one’s life and
    living. It is said that legacy is what cultural
    heritage is. According to John Feather,
    CULTURAL HERITAGE is a human creation
    intended to inform.
    • architectures such as buildings, houses,
    and structures
    • artifacts like books, documents, objects,
    images, clothing, accessories, and jars
    • things that make people who they are,
    like oral stories, values, laws, norms,
    rituals, and traditions
    • traditional clothing
    • utensils (e.g. beadwork, water vessels)
    • vehicles (e.g. the ox wagon)
    • documents (e.g. codes, laws, land titles,
    literature)
    • public works and architecture built and
    constructed by a cultural group (e.g.
    buildings, historical places monuments,
    temples, graves, roads, bridges)
    • stories and songs
    • memories
    • myths
    • beliefs and superstitions
    • ways of life
    • customs
    • • oral poetry
    • attitudes and interactions between individuals and
    communities
    • words only used in old crafts and trades
    • various forms of traditional knowledge
    such as ethnobotanical knowledge
    Documents whose authenticity are yet to be determined include
    the Hitler diaries, crystal skulls of Mesoamerica (tangible), and
    the status or story of Saint Nicholas' companion, Black Peter
    (intangible).

    Authenticity or truthfulness of origin, attributes, and


    intentions of cultural heritage are one of the issues
    concerning the sources of our culture.

    Aside from authenticity issues, preservation, or


    the act of making a cultural heritage last and exist,
    is also a primary concern..
    According to UNESCO, “heritage is our
    legacy from the past, what we live with today,
    and what we pass on to future generations.
    Our cultural and natural heritage are both
    irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration.”
    Indeed, whatever we had yesterday is our
    present, and whatever we make out of it will
    be the foundation of our future. We better
    ensure that it is well taken care of.
