What’s New?
ACTIVITY 1 - “LET’S SING TOGETHER “
Guide Questions:
1. What is the general idea of the song?
- Every colour and every hue as what the lyrics say. “The Kaleidoscope World”, is
represented by me and you. In this world, there are people who have different
personality type, different experience, and different levels of challenges encountered
in every single point in time. People think alike, yet some are in discord. “Some are
friends, and some foes” as what it says. The song simply tells us the real world is not
mundane and monotonous place to live if we look at it closely. The world is not rigid
having different sides and it is so diverse that it is so diverse that it is composed of
unique beautiful individuals. Although despite of being unique, we are all one and the
same humanity capable of love, compassion, kindness, and bravery.
2. How can you relate yourself to the circumstance of the song?
- We have different role in our lives and in society. The relation between me and the
song Kaleidoscope world is that, human are not the same. Some are in grief while
some are in happiness. There is always an opposition between each other in their
everyday works.

- Kaleidoscope ignites the personality in me because it has many sides and represent
our multiple emotions we express as a human being.

“The Challenge of Cultural Relativism”. After reading the questions, answer the questions
written below.

Processing questions:

1. What are the things that you had learned?

- Using the perspective of cultural relativism leads to the view that no one culture
superior that other culture when compared to systems of morality, law, politics, etc. It
is a concept and values derive their meaning within a specific social context.
2. How the article had helped you gain more insights about the importance of cultural
relativism?
- The goal of this is promote understanding of cultural practices that are not typically
part of one's own cultural or culture
3. Are the things mentioned by James Rachels are applicable in your life? Or in your
community? Why or why not?
- The point of fighting for independence even though he was killed ( i don't know who
you mean ) the point is that we are brave and willingly ready to sacrifice for our
countries independence And being arrogant will not help you to understand things
that surrounds you being curious will do. Being open and accept them without
accepting the whole theory would make us unite

Processing Questions:

1. How does society emerged?

- Societies are formed of our social groupings at varied levels, from small towns,
through countries, to broader cultural groupings such as a Western society. Within
such societies people tend to form particular cultures, formed of the ideas, customs,
and social behaviours that make one society distinct from another.
2. What type of society do we live in today?
- collectivistic society
3. Why do you think many different societies existed in the course of history?
- Sociocultural evolution, sociocultural evolutionism or cultural evolution are theories of
cultural and social evolution that describe how cultures and societies change over
time. Whereas sociocultural development traces processes that tend to increase the
complexity of a society or culture, sociocultural evolution also considers process that
can lead to decreases in complexity (degeneration) or that can produce variation or
proliferation without any seemingly significant changes in complexity (clad
genesis).Sociocultural evolution is "the process by which structural reorganization is
 affected through time, eventually producing a form or structure which is qualitatively
different from the ancestral form".
4. Why these practices and symbols are important?
- Because the practices and symbol has meaning within a culture, because of a
shared understanding of what the symbol signifies. Stories, traditions, history, and
cultural norms contribute to the meaning of a symbol. At the most basic level,
symbols are important because they help people craft meaning in their interactions
with one another.
