A. Culture is a Pattern of Behavior

Culture is described as the taught shared patterns of behavior and relationships, cognitive

conceptions, and affective understanding. These common patterns help to recognize people of

one culture from those of another. In the broadest definition, culture is cultivated conduct that is,
 the sum of a person's learnt, collected experience that is socially transmitted, or, to put it another

way, behavior acquired through social learning.

B. Culture is Learned

Culture can be learned. While much of what we learn about a culture comes from school, family,
classmates, and the media, there are many things we learn about a society subconsciously.
Children, for example, learn a set of cultural beliefs, values, and practices from their
surroundings. Formal, informal, and technical learning are all ways to gain these skills.

IV. Choose 5 from the choices and give a specific description and example for each
characteristic of a culture. 10pts

A. Learned Behavior.

A learned behavior is the one that you have learned or have been instructed to do. Some things
we learn through our parents, but others, such as skateboarding, we may learn on our own.
Playing an instrument, participating in sports, fashion, cooking, playing, and cuisine are some
examples.

B. Culture is Integrated.

Cultural exchange can be characterized as cultural integration. It occurs when an individual or

group adapts to another group's traditions and beliefs without compromising their own. A
multicultural society is defined by the integration of multiple cultures. Workplaces, marriages,
and communities are all settings where cultural integration can occur. An example is if a person
named Paul emigrate to America from Philippines. He is more worried about his children than
himself. Even though they speak Tagalog at home, they speak English outside. This helped them
integrate and fit into American society. Just like they were introduced to American things, they
also introduced Filipino culture in the form of Filipino food or traditions to their friends.

C. Culture Includes Attitudes, Values, and Knowledge.

The cumulative deposit of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, attitudes, meanings,

hierarchies, religion, notions of time, roles, spatial relations, universe concepts, and material
objects and possessions acquired by a group of people over generations through individual and
group striving is referred to as culture. Culture is defined as a set of shared knowledge systems
shared by a big group of individuals.

D. Culture is Idealistic.

The nature of culture is idealistic. Because it embodies the group's ideals, values, and standards.
It places ideal goals in front of people that they should strive towards. In other terms, culture is
the sum of a society's ideals and values. Ideal culture refers to the practices, values or norms that
society is supposed to follow or desires to achieve. It refers to those goals that a society considers
ideal, or worth aiming for. We see what we want to see, and we say what we want to say instead
of what the actual interpretation of the society can be like. For example, when we say that crime
and violence rates are decreasing, we are seeing only what is positive. However, a true or real
picture will tell us that, it has been increasing due to the advancement of the society and the
consequent competitiveness and complexity it has brought about.

E. Culture is Transmitted among Members of Society.

Persons learn cultural ways from other people. Many are "passed down" from one's elders, such
as parents, teachers, and people of a little older generation. Elders are "passed down" other
cultural behaviors. Contemporaries are responsible for some cultural transmission. For instance,
clothing trends, political beliefs, and the usage of new equipment are some examples of how
culture transmitted to the member of the society.
