KNOW AND UNDERSTAND

CONTENT STANDARD:
The learners demonstrate an understanding of:
1. Culture and society as anthropological and sociological concepts; and
2. Perspectives in/approaches to the study of culture and society (i.e., comparative,
historical, structural, functional, interpretative, and critical).

CHECKPOINT: What is Culture and why is it important?

Culture and society are concepts. They exist in the realm of ideas and thoughts. As
such, they cannot be seen or touched and yet they influence the way we see and experience
our individual and collective lives as social beings.

What is interesting about concepts is that as conceptual tools, they allow us to form
other concepts, or relate concepts to each other, or even deconstruct old ones and replace
them with something new. With the concept of culture, anthropologists are able to explore
and make sense of the complex processes and dynamics that characterize the great variety
of “ways of living” practiced and observed around the world.

According to sociologists, culture consists of the values, beliefs, systems of language,

communication, and practices that people share in common and that can be used to define
them as a collective. Culture also includes the material objects that are common to that
group or society. www.thoughtco.com

Material culture consists of things that are created by humans. Examples include cars,
buildings, clothing, and tools. Nonmaterial culture refers to the abstract ideas and ways of

thinking that make up a culture. Examples of nonmaterial culture include traffic laws, words,
and dress codes. (study.com)

The major elements of culture are symbols, language, norms, values, and artifacts.
Language makes effective social interaction possible and influences how people conceive of
concepts and objects. Major values that distinguish the United States include individualism,
competition, and a commitment to the work ethic. (Sociologyopen.lib.umn.edu)

“A culture is a way of life of a group of people--the behaviors, beliefs, values, and

symbols that they accept, generally without thinking about them, and that are passed
along by communication and imitation from one generation to the next. people.tamu.edu

1.
Aspects of cultural identity

*Nationality - It is the country that the person is born in, and/or the country that the
person currently lives in.
*Ethnicity - It is the culture of the person and is a very crucial aspect of cultural identity as
the person usually has the culture of his/her respective ethnicity.
* Religion - this is your spiritual beliefs
* Education – could be formal and non-formal

Culture can also change in certain situations. New philosophical ideas and
technological advances can lead to cultural change. Cultural change can also occur through
diffusion, when contact with other cultures and ideas are transferred. study.com

In addition to its intrinsic value, culture

provides important social and economic
benefits. With improved learning and
health, increased tolerance, and
opportunities to come together with others,
culture enhances our quality of life and
increases overall well-being for both
individuals and communities.
