Culture shapes people's perceptions and behaviors in fundamental ways. It determines how individuals view the world, relate to others, and act without conscious thought. Culture is learned through symbols and social norms, whereas instincts are innate behaviors shared across species. Philippine culture traditionally views women and LGBT individuals as inferior and they experience discrimination and limited rights. Changing a culture's beliefs and norms regarding gender is important for achieving equality, as it allows people to accept all diversities. Sexism and discrimination are associated with patriarchal cultural rationalities that see men as dominant leaders based on gender.

1. How does culture shape people's perception of reality?
● Culture shapes people's perception of reality by shaping our view of the world. Culture also shows how humans determine the way they act towards others and themselves without even having a critical awareness of what they do. Since the culture encourages individualism, people in these culture's are said to be challenged in their ability to understand someone else's point of view.
2. What is the main difference between instinct and culture?
● An instinct is a set behavior that does not have to be learned and which is set in motion in response to an instinct-driven action. Instinct exists across a wide range of human and non-human species. While culture it is the system of symbols that allows people to give meaning to experience. In addition it is the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively.

rationalities? ● Sexism and discrimination associated with culture and rationalities because it based on our sex or gender, especially against woman and girls. We live in a patriarchal society men are still seen as dominant leaders.
