Quarter 2 – Module 1

REVIEW
- I learned the difference between material culture and non-material culture in the last class.
Immaterial refers to the ideals, beliefs and traditions of a group of people. The objects
representing the community are called material culture. In my opinion, intangible culture is
different from material culture, and the existence of intangible culture shocks me.

ACTIVITY 1
- It feels good and fulfilling knowing that I was able to extend a hand for someone or other
people. For me, helping others is a responsibility more than as a choice because as God’s
creation and children, it’s our responsibility to help others out, to serve a purpose and as a
blessing for others, to be God’s instrument for someone’s prayer. That’s the impact of
helping others even in small gestures.

1. Blood kinship is the most prevalent kind of kinship in the Philippines. Filipinos are known
for their strong familial bonds. We conduct family reunions/gatherings in order to really get to
know all of the family or clan members.
2. It can be done by observing and evaluating the following seven factors that collectively
contribute to team success: cohesion, communication, groupthink, homogeny, role identity,
