and declared these as their own domain. It is based

replace feudalism. This is capitalism, the predominant economic system of
industrial societies. Capitalism, characterized by free competition, free market and
the right to acquire private property, emerged. The introduction of foreign metals,

CULTURE
7
As described by Banks et al. (2016), the characteristics of culture are
the following.
CHARACTERISTICS OF CULTURE
1. Culture is learned. The different habits, skills, values and knowledge are
acquired or learned in the course of a person’s life. This is what we call
enculturation, the acquisition of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that
enable men to become active members of their communities.
8
As explained by Banks et al. (2016), the characteristics of culture are
the following.
Beliefs - are man’s perception about the reality of things and are shared
ideas about how the world his environment operates. They are reflective of highly
valued feelings about the world in which they live. Beliefs are influenced by
emotions, attitudes, values ideology and religion.
Folkways - are fairly weak forms of norms, whose violation is generally not
considered serious within a particular culture. They are habits, customs, and
repetitive patterns of behavior.
Ideas - comprise man’s concepts of his physical, social and cultural world as
manifested in people’s beliefs and values.
CHARACTERISTICS OF SOCIETY
Society consists of groups of people who share some likeness such as being
rational, free and bodily. They share similar needs such as food, shelter,
clothing, love, among other things.
Society does not only consist of groups of people who share a likeness with
everyone but also need to exhibit some differences. These differences among the
people who are members of the same organization or group are simply made to
be different as individuals.
9
The self is not the other, and the other is not the other is not the self or me.
Jacques Derrida, a French philosopher, spoke of what he called the alterity of a
person or his otherness. The differences would also be beneficial and necessary
to society as different individuals can perform acts or tasks that the self may
not be capable.
Different people are endowed with different gifts or talents distinct from others.
Some are good at carpentry, others are good at farming or in teaching, to name
some few professions or strengths. Imagine if everyone is a fisherman, who
would provide us with crops or who build our houses or who would sew our
clothes? Individual differences are not accidental but natural in the person of
every individual.
Humans do not live alone, isolated from each other. Instead, individuals tend to
live in communities with other people to help one another not just along
economic needs but also in gaining knowledge or in learning some ways or
means of living happily and collectively.
Society cannot exist without its population. The people who constitute
society constitute society constantly engage in a social relationship that brings
them together in group endeavors or activities they do in every day of their lives.
Social relationship is inevitable in society.
1
The social relationship, however, cannot be possible without going through
the process of socialization.
