Culture that can be learn:

Base on my observation and experience culture can be learn through asking question and
listening. There are cultural things I can learn through the sounds that I hear, through listening
to people talk, and hearing the contents of their interaction. Like foreign people culture and other
places to our country where I experience their culture that entertain me to learn it.

Culture is shared

Based on my observation on how culture is shared almost all living in the Philippines share their
Filipino language like bisaya who teach the Ilocano of some language of them. Also in dancing
where some foreign want to learn to dance the culture dance so we can share to them on what
culture we have. We celebrating also our many same holidays.

Culture is cumulative

Base on my observation the culture able to cumulative is the jeepneys and tricycles in the
Philippines. Their invention involved the use of materials which where invented In different
places of the world.

Culture is diverse

Base on my observation the culture of Korean people compared to the culture of Filipino people.
Korean people wear a " Hanbok" It's a traditional outfit of Korean that combines straight lines
and soft curves. While Filipino people used Baro't Saya (literally "Shirt and Skirt") is the style of
women's clothing. Traditionally, it is composed of a blouse and a long skirt with a "panuelo". It
evolved many variants, some are regional. The upper-class women wore more elaborate baro't
saya sewn with beads and has colorful designs.

LESSON 4: ELEMENTS OF CULTURE

ENRICHMENT

Activity

Activity 1: Give specific example on how do culture shared and adopt through the following
elements of culture. It could be your own observations and experiences or others experiences.
Elements Specific example

Language Base on my observation and experience on how they share and

adopt the language example when you have a Korean friend and he
want to go in Philippines for a 1 month tour with you but he is not
fluent in Tagalog and English speaking so as a friend you need to
teach a language of Philippines and your Korean friend also teach
you to speak a Korean language as long as they sharing language
together they slowly respect, adopt and accept as a part of their
language.

Beliefs Base on my observation on how they share and adopt the belief
example our old belief that we adopt to our ancestor like the belief of
death when someone death my parent said. When you see a chick
on the casket, it means the departed is a victim of a crime. Usually,
the relatives will also put some grains on it so that the chick will peck
on them. The sound the pecking makes is believed to be like
knocking on the perpetrator’s conscience. This belief we adopt to our
ancestor and we believe for what they believe so that it pass to
generation and next generation.

Values Base on my observation and experience on how they share and

adopt the values example Filipinos, belong to different religious
groups, we all have God(Supreme being) in our center. Filipino
families sometimes go to church or pray together with their family.
This example where Filipinos adopt to our ancestor who is their God
and they accept to their heart. That why in this generation we know
what we praying for and we know that we have a different church
and belief.

Norms Base on my observation and experience on how they share and

adopt the norms example We do the “mano po” all the time, it is a
Filipino tradition in which kids or people who are younger take the
hand of the elderly then put it in their forehead as a sign of respect.
Traditionally, we tend to the gesture to our grandmas, grandpas,
moms, dads, uncles, aunties. Generally, everyone that is older than
you. However, some people prefer not to do it because it makes
them feel old. Also in this generation. We can see that some of us
are rarely to used this tradition and we don not care about it.
Activity 2:

Answer the Following question, with 3 S (Short, Simple, with Substance).

How does culture affect your everyday habits? Does it give you good effect or bad effect?

Culture affect my everyday habit to recognize and respect the culture of others. Culture
has been part of my life since the day I was born. Because of culture we can also to
describe our way of life and the values, belief, and attitudes that we use in everyday life.
Its give me a good effect in my life without culture we cannot recognize each other us a
one society and we cannot call our self a human without culture.

How do cultures differ from each other, based from the different elements of culture?

Culture was defined as the early as the language , and values, that the part of any society.
Cultural differences are the various beliefs, behavior, languages, practices and expression
considered unique to members of a specific ethnicity race or national origin
