    Culture has several key characteristics: it is learned and acquired, shared and transmitted, social, ideational, and helps gratify human needs in an adaptive way. There are several types of cultural adaptations and changes over time. These include parallelism where cultures independently develop similar traits, diffusion where patterns pass between cultures, fission where a society splits into independent units, and convergence where multiple cultures fuse into a new combined culture. The document also discusses several cultural concepts like ethnocentrism, cultural relativity, subcultures, culture shock, cultural lag, and cultural dualism which is the blending of Eastern and Western influences in Philippine society.
