    Explain the following statements:
    1. Self is a product of enculturation.

    The term enculturation is the process by which an individual learns and


    internalizes the norms, values, and practices of their culture. For example, if
    an individual was born in an Igorot community, that person learns the
    environment’s cultural values, norms, and practices at a young age and
    continuously throughout life since enculturation is a gradual learning process.

    There are various factors that contribute to enculturation. These include family
    members, friends, educational systems of a certain community, and media.
    These help oneself understand the context of their culture and progressively
    develop appropriate behaviors and attitudes.

    In addition, enculturation is also a form of socialization where oneself gains


    the knowledge and skills to function within the context of their culture, which
    includes language and behaviors.

    2. Self is a contemporary culture.

    It has been discussed that the self is perceived as dynamic and evolving,
    which means that the self is continuously developing since it is influenced by
    external factors such as society and individual experiences. A person’s view of
    themselves is impacted by what they experience. As they encounter situations
    and challenges, the concept of themselves can shift.

    Social interactions also shape the self. Through studies, self-concept is


    learned and organized based on experience. This means that as an individual
    engages with various social groups, their self-perception can evolve
    accordingly.

    For example, an individual faced with an experience that contradict their


    understanding, that individual may either adapt their self-concept to
    accommodate theses experience or not.

    3. Why self-awareness and awareness of behavioral environment important in


    acquiring appropriate contemporary culture?

    Self-awareness enables us to recognize our good qualities, values, feelings,


    practices, strengths, and weaknesses. We can see how our actions impact
    other individuals. This plays an important role in personal development, social
    interactions, and cultural integration. Having self-awareness is significant to
    each individual since building healthy connections in a variety of cultural
    contexts requires self-aware people to be able to see how their actions affect
    other people and adjust accordingly.

    Understanding one's social and cultural environment is necessary to be aware


    of one's behavioral environment. In a growing global society, this knowledge
    can be helpful for understanding various cultural norms and expectations.

    For example, if an individual joins in with a team with various cultural


    backgrounds, having self-awareness, he/she can build strong connections
    with the team because he/she is willing to learn and adapt to various cultures,
    which can potentially lead their team to grow.
