• An English Scholar/ anthropologist E.B Tylor defines culture "as the complex whole which includes

KNOWLEDGE, BELIEF, ART, MORALS, LAWS, CUSTOM and any other capabilities and habbits

acquired by man as a member of society"

7

UNESCO proposed a meaning of culture as "set if destinctive spiritual, material, intellectual, and emotional features of society.... which encompassess to art literature, lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems and beliefs

8

What are their commonalities by meaning?

Characteristics of Culture1. Culture is Learned- it is acquired through

experiences that you observe in an environment. *a child who is born in Cebu would have a difficulty in

speaking ilokano

2. Culture is Shared by Group of People -for a certain act to be considered cultural it must

be observed/used/practiced by the common or majority of the population

*Marriage Ceremony, Burial Ceremony

10

3. Culture is Commulative- Knowledge is stored and time will come it will be passed from one generation to the other. and new knowledge will be added by what is existing.

Phone with Antenna

3210 Model

I-Phone I Pad etc

11

4. Culture Change- all cultural knowledge does not perpetually accumulate. At the same time that new cultural traits are added, some old ones are lost because they are no longer useful.

12

5. Culture is Dynamic- no culture is ever in a permanent state. it is constantly changing time by time because of inventions, techniques etc. are added to the ol ways are constantly modified.

-in relation to number3*Before: Basic rosary creed are in Latin

* Present: Basic rosary creeds are translated in English

13

Thus when culture is changing over generations and undergone cultural modification it is called as Cultural Diffusion.

-it diffuses when passed and being added by specialties

14

6. Culture is Ideational- an ideal pattern of behavior of which the members are expected to follow. Man assigns meanings to his environment and symbolizing.

*the belief on the spirits of nature (animism)

7. Culture is Diverse- The sum total of the human culture consists of a great many separate cultures, each of them are different. Culture as a system has many interdependent parts.

*choosing a mate-consider economic, religion, status etc.

15

16

8. Culture gives us a range of permissable behavior patterns- every culture allows a range of ways in which men can be men and women can be women. Culture gives us patterns on how should we behave.

17

Concepts:

Ethnocentrism- a view in which your culture is more popular thatn of the culture practiced in other situation

Xenocentrism- a voew in which your culture is dominated by culture B.

18

Do you feel sometimes of disorientation of such practices made by other group of persons?

-If yes you experience culture shock

What about accepting new trait and practices as it is suited in your culture too?

-If yes you are experiencing cultural relativism

19

1. Language- language defines what is to human. When people share a language, they share a condensed, very flexible set of symbols and meanings.

-This makes communication possible2. Symbols- things used to represent

virtue of some decree.-we must always attain

values as we continue to live in this society

27

3. Accounts- are how man used language to explain, justify, rationalize, excuse, ligitimize our behavior to themselves and others.

-if immoral we ask why?-if good we tend to like

them.

28

Behavioral Component

1. Norms- rules or expectations on our behavior of how we should act as a member of society, or acts that conforms with the nature of society.

-Norms are reinforced through sanctions (punishment-+)

-Through socialization we internalize norms

• In addition, when norms are violated, they become now as deviance, or unacceptable acts to the society which does not conform.

30

Types of Norms

**respect for rituals, religion and other practice

People who violate this are said to be unfitted by the society and is subject to punishment.

How is Culture Organized?

1. Cultural trait- using the simplest unit of culture to serve a particular function

(we used pen in order for writing)2. Culture Complex- set of Traits(People who are like having diff. beliefs)3. Culture Pattern- relatively fixed made acts(you plow the field to produce rice)

39

4. Culture Universals- cultures that are sought and practive universally (music, arts)

5. Specialties- only few people are practicing such culture that may not be familiar with others.

40

How is Culture Transmitted?

1. Enculturation- A process of learning the culture of one group. learning your native culture from birth to death.

-speak Cebuano-learn to plant rice-learn to handle animals-learn to hold utensils

41

2. Acculturation- thre process of learning some new traits from another culture.

-migrating from Rural to Urban-being employed in an Arab Country-Being employed in Japan-Teaching form private to public-Teaching from public to private.

42

3. Assimilation- an individual losses entirely any awareness of his/her previous group identity and focus on new group.

-believes in Roman Catholic then transferred to 7th Day adventist

-believes in republican then transferred to federalist.

43

Importance and Functions of Culture

1. Culture helps the individual fullfill his full potential as a human being.

2. Through the development of culture man can overcome his physical disadvantages and allows us to pride ourselves with fire, clothing, food and shelter.

44

3. Culture provides rules of proper conduct for living in society

4. Culture also provides the individual his concepts of family nation and class

45

Generalization:

Culture emcopassess so many complex branches and arteries. In connection with this, as future educators it is a must for us to curiously determine and understand the cultures of our future students/ pupils to come so we can clearly interact with them with the conduct and appropriateness.
