Cultural Heritage

1. Introducing the study background

Culture Heritage is the legacy of physical artifacts (cultural property) and intangible attributes of
a group or society inherited from the past. Cultural Heritage is a concept which offers a bridge
between the past and the future with the application of particular approaches in the present. Due
to its attached values for these groups or societies, cultural heritage is maintained in the present
and bestowed for the benefit of future generations.

Having at one time referred exclusively to the monumental remains of cultures, cultural heritage
as a concept has gradually come to include new categories.

Today, we find that heritage is not only manifested through tangible forms such as artefacts,
buildings or landscapes but also through intangible forms. Intangible heritage includes voices,
values, traditions, oral history. Popularly this is perceived through cuisine, clothing, and forms of
shelter, traditional skills and technologies, religious ceremonies, performing arts, storytelling.

Today, we consider the tangible heritage inextricably bound up with the intangible heritage. In
conservation projects we aim to preserve both the tangible as well as the intangible heritage.

Cultural Heritage is also known as blueprint in every country’s culture. It is a legacy of selection
in every society. It expresses how people make and elaborate by a community and gave on from
primary individual to the rest of the world.

Culture refers to the way of life of a specific group of people. It can be seen in ways of behaving,
beliefs, values, customs followed, dress style, personal decoration like makeup and jewelry,
relationships with others and special symbols and codes.
Culture is passed on from one generation (parents) to the next (children). Culture is not static as
each generation contributes its experience of the world and discards things that are no longer
useful to them.

Heritage is anything that is considered important enough to be passed on to the future


generations. Heritage is broadly categorized into two main divisions:- Cultural Heritage refers to
the cultural aspects like heritage sites, monuments, folklore, traditional activities and practices,
language etc. that are considered vital to be preserved for the future generations. It gives people a
connection to certain social values, beliefs, religions and customs.

Culture is the backbone of every nation around the world. It was developed naturally in the life
of every human being.

Cultures are not developed over a decade or century but it requires thousands of years of practice
to be considered as the tradition and culture of a particular place or a country.

Some of the unique cultures are blessed and founded by the great enlightened beings. Due to
different cultures and traditions, human beings are divided into different communities which then
form a nation.

As a result, knowing it’s important of culture heritage and its vital roles in the society, the
assigned topic includes how culture heritage plays essential role in society and why we should
know a lot of things about it its important connection to future generation, its function in
building strong nation and its identity.

The word “heritage” brings to brain different ideas for different people—and it should. Heritage
is a person’s unique, inherited sense of family identity: the values, traditions, culture, and
artifacts handed down by previous generations. We absorb a sense of our heritage throughout our
lives as we observe and experience the things that make our family unique. Although not every
inherited trait, tendency, or tradition is positive, we generally consider heritage to be the positive
and meaningful elements of our family’s identity that we incorporate into our own lives and pass
along to succeeding generations.

Heritage can express itself in many ways. Some families define their heritage primarily as their
ethnic, cultural, or national identity. Other families can point to values that have been passed on,
such as a love for education, participation in community life, a strong work ethic, or religious
devotion. People may feel that an inherited aptitude—such as for music or mechanics, athletics
or art—is part of their heritage. How to Discover Your Heritage Some people have a strong
sense of their heritage. They can point to a flag hanging proudly nearby or repeat stories and
traditions shared by their parents or grandparents. Some have a confident sense of the unique
interests, occupations, or values found in their family.

Others may have to look a little more closely to identify traces of heritage in their lives. Asking
the following questions may help people discover elements of their family’s unique legacy in
their lives. As you explore your family tree, identify patterns by asking these kinds of questions:

* Do historical records show patterns in your family’s occupation, especially jobs relating to
certain values, interests, or skills?

* Do you see traditions or traits echoed in the kinds of photos your family takes or what objects
they have chosen to keep?

* What values or feelings do your most important family stories impart?

If you can attend a family reunion or meet with relatives, consider asking others what is
meaningful to them about your shared heritage. Some who seek a stronger sense of cultural or
ethnic identity turn to DNA testing.

Ethnicity percentages, while not always reliable or specific, may help you discover your
ancestral places or cultures of origin connecting in DNA matches can reveal heritage that has
been passed down through other branches of the family. For many people, the most meaningful
way to honor their heritage is to include elements of it in their own lives. They live the positive
values they were taught and pass them on to others. They may choose activities or traditions that
help them feel connected to their loved ones.

Heirlooms, family photos, and other tangible reminders of their heritage may be displayed in
their homes. They may also create new traditions that communicate the values they hope will
outlive them. Many who want to honor their heritage spend time learning about and expanding
their family tree.

They may interview relatives, label old photos, gather family stories, and write down the stories
they discover so as to preserve a more lasting legacy. Some even travel to ancestral hometowns
or homelands to learn more about their heritage and feel more connected to past generations.

1.1. Statement of the problem

As of today culture heritage is what we see in every corner of one’s place or we can observe it in
one’s belief or traditions it can either be in Tangible form or Intangible forms. Every human
being has the capability to see what is given to us by our ancestors as their descendants but how
can we preserve it for the future generations?

People nowadays are hiding behind curtains because of technology they don't have the strong
patriotism towards their cultural heritage, they cannot perceived anymore how wonderful the
cultural heritage are , because they are busy and don't have the time to explore and savor every
moment about it.

In order for the next generation to savor and enjoy the culture heritage, people need to preserve it
through sharing it with others from their little children, relatives around the globe and to the
illiterate citizen. People can also utilize their voices to speak up with the use of new information
or new media such us posting a blog or blogging in any media platforms, anything related to
cultural heritage.

Other thing to do is broadcasting or using print medias ( newspaper, magazines and such) to
show appreciation and give knowledge to younger generations so that they can be able to gain ,
acquire , and realize to themselves that culture heritage is worth preserving for.

1.2. Purpose of the Research

The purpose of this study is to give knowledge about the culture heritage and why should we
know a lot of things about it.

Being a knowledgeable being towards ones culture is an intellectual move to do to gain insights
about cultures that our ancestors intended to inform their descendants to continue acquiring a lot
of knowing about the legacy that should be continuously moving forward to its generations
without breaking or making it fade.

1.3. Objective of the Research


Here are some ideas that focuses in Cultural Heritage. It specifies the different level and expound
the concept of the said topic.

Here are the lists that needs to acquire the outcome of the topic.

 To be able to express as either unable to be touched or perceptible by touch also known


as Tangible and Intangible.
 To know the importance of Cultural Heritage.
 To differentiate the distinct categories of Cultural Heritage.
 To preserve and expose the cultural heritage of our ancestors and teachers.
 To evoke surprise and admiration by creating accessibility to their work, products, and
minds.

1.4. Research Question

Research questions are particular to achieve the objectives of the study. They seek to supply a
framework of investigation for the study; the answers to which typically form the findings.

This topic provides broad insight into the nature of the study to alert others to study.

The following are research questions base on the objectives for fulfilling the outcome of the
study.

•What are the importance of Cultural Heritage?

•Differentiate between the unable to be touched and perceptible by touch in expressing the
Cultural Heritage.

1.5. Research Hypothesis


•The following hypothesis were tested at the level of average of significance.

•People use exact definition of behavior to their cultural heritage but without knowing, they are
of using it daily activities.

•In cultural heritage, there are individuals differentiate the expression of behavior between
abstract and demonstration.

•People perform Tangible and Intangible in terms of their respective places.

•They give pride and honor different aspects in Cultural Heritage.

•Society’s Cultural Heritage can pass from generation to generation and use it to the rest of the
world.

1.6. Scope of the Research

This study is primarily focused on the assessment of Cultural Heritage in terms of studies and
knowledge being acquired.

The researchers aim to describe the knowledge about culture heritage for better understanding
and realization about preservation of such legacy from an ancestor to their descendants. The
researchers intended to provide ways on how to conserve and preserve the culture heritage to
younger generations.

1.7. Significance of the research

To have insights about how important the culture heritage in our life which was passed down and
nourished by our ancestors.

Importance of cultural heritage is that it can provide an automatic sense of unity and belonging
within a group and allowed us to understand about previous generations and the history of where
we come from. Those that identify strongly with a certain heritage are often more likely to help
out others in that same community.

Cultural Heritage plays a very important role in our life. It is what keeps us attached to our
religion, traditions, & beliefs. In today’s context we refer to cultural identity which means
(feeling of) identity of a group or culture, or of an individual as far as he or she is influenced by
his belonging to a group or culture.

It is necessary to give awareness of Cultural Heritage and the ethics of its care in study
curriculum and to identify tools that can be developed to help communities for the better
understanding and conserve their heritage. So, some of the important of culture heritage are as
follows:

 It gives connection to younger generation

Culture heritage can give people a connection to certain social values, beliefs, religions and
customs. It allows them to identify with others of similar mindsets and backgrounds. Cultural
heritage can provide an automatic sense of unity and belonging within a group and allowed us to
understand about previous generations and the history of where we come from.

 The spirit and direction of nation are found and reflected in its historic heritage.

The distinctiveness of the culture and tradition which is made visible in the everyday life because
of the cultural heritage. The inheritance of physical artifacts and intangible groups that pass from
generation to generation reflects the past deeds. Our forefather has tirelessly preserved the
cultural heritage by knowing its importance.

 Provides a sense of belongingness

Cultural Heritage keeps us attached to our religion, traditions, and beliefs and prevents younger
generation from joining the wrong company.
In today’s context we refer cultural identity (feeling of) as a group of culture, or an individual as
far as he or she is influenced by his belonging to a culture. To spread the importance, ideology of
Cultural Heritage is one of the factors that help in passing down and sustain for future
generation.

 Sense of personal identity

Cultural heritage acts as a special identity for a country. Our parents have worked hard to protect
the unique culture and not to let the upcoming citizens to bear in finding and knowing their own
identity. According to Simon, he said that, it can be easy to feel lost and alone among so many
other cultures and backgrounds

Especially in large cities. New York City, for example, is a huge melting pot of people from all
over the country and the world. There are large communities based around certain cultural
heritages, including Irish, Italian, Asian, and others. Identify with others of similar mindsets and
background.

 Cultural heritage allows the people to know about other people who have the same
kind of background and mindsets.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) (2002)
described that “cultural heritage allows identifying each other by distinctive spiritual, material,
intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group, and that it encompasses, in
addition to art and literature, lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and
beliefs”. Through cultural heritage we can know easily the people of other community by
identifying the culture and similar mindsets. For example, if someone wears a gho or a kira than
we can easily know that he/she is a Bhutanese. Therefore, Cultural heritage allows us to identify
various cultures.
1.8 Definition

Culture- the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social
group also: the characteristic features of everyday existence (such as diversions or a way of life)
shared by people in a place or time.

Heritage- property that descends to an heir.

Culture Heritage- It is the main subject of this study it is the topic being discussed on this
research.

Ancestors- one from whom a person is descended and who is usually more remote in the line of
descent than a grandparent

Descendants- proceeding from an ancestor or source.

Tangible- capable of being perceived especially by the sense of touch.

Intangible- an abstract quality or attribute.

Cultural Identity- culture identity is the character identity is the character of belonging to a
group. It is a part of a person’s self-conception and self-insight and is related to nationality,
ethnicity, religion, society classes, generation, locality or any kind of social group that has its
own distinguishable culture.
2. Literature review

According to Simon, he said that, it can be easy to feel lost and alone among so many other
cultures and backgrounds especially in large cities.

Rana P.B. Singh has discussed the heritage is a cultural identity to be reflected in the purview
of individual, unique and multiple layers of pluralism, especially with respect to religion, at least
in old cultures that maintained their traditions and continuity. In the span of time the layering of
various cultures put their marks, which in the sequence of time turn to be the issue of conflicts
due to claim by the different groups.

According to the UNESCO ICH Convention (2003) the intangible cultural heritage (ICH), or
living heritage, is the mainspring of our cultural diversity and its maintenance a guarantee for
continuing creativity that are part of a network and interlinking system.

Lile King, 2001 explain the subject of contesting heritage and related enduring role of religion
could be visualized at various scales, like global, national, regional, local and bodily, and at
various degrees of shared sense of religious belonging

(Kong 2001: 226). It seems that some of the heritage practices (and also religion-ritual
traditions) commonly associated with the ancient time were alive and later passed on to the later
generations.

Lowenthal (1998: 226) argues that heritage, far from being fatally predetermined or God-given,
is in large measure our own marvelously malleable creation. Of course heritage is not an innate
or primordial phenomenon; people created or converted it into symbolic form, and in many cases
associated it with religion.

David Lowenthal observes that preserved objects also validate memories. While digital
acquisition techniques can provide technological solution that is able to acquire the shape and the
appearance of artifacts with an unprecedented precision in human history, the actuality of the
object, as opposed to a reproduction, draws people in and gives them a literal way of touching
the past.

This unfortunately poses a danger as places and things are damaged by the hands of tourists, the
light required to display them, and other risks of making an object known and available.

The reality of this risk reinforces the fact that all artifacts are in a constant state of chemical
transformation, so that what is considered to be preserved is actually changing – it is never as it
once was. Similarly changing is the value each generation may place on the past and on the
artifacts that link it to the past.

(Lazar 1993: 19) heritage literary passages are versatile tools for language study. They illustrate
HL in use (a wide range of styles, genres, registers, and varieties); they provide meaningful and
memorable contexts for vocabulary expansion and grammar practice; they can serve as the basis
for listening, reading, speaking, and writing activities; and they develop students' ability to think
critically by inferring meaning, making interpretations, and expressing their own ideas and
emotions .

(Diamond & Moore 1995: 221) heritage literature helps students understand themselves, their
families, and their communities better as members of a particular culture. By reading folk tales
and legends, for example, they learn about "the origin of traditional cultural values and beliefs" .

The 2000s EU-founded research on cultural heritage increased considerably. Due to the ever-
expanding notion of ‘heritage’ – currently including natural and cultural, tangible and intangible
entities as well as urban and rural areas and landscapes, tourist destinations, places of creative
economy, digitalized archives and registers, etc. – practically every academic discipline has
become involved in the study of cultural heritage. Customary scientific objects and topics are re-
defined as cultural heritage themes, which is not merely a recognition of new social and political
expectations. This redefinition is taking place after the decades of significant epistemological
turns (linguistic, cultural, spatial, etc.), which resulted in a conceptual and methodological
renewal of Social Sciences and Humanities. Consequently, Social Sciences and Humanities
became more critical not only in their scientific investigations, but also from the point of view of
their societal utility and their role in representing democratic values. Thus, the critical study of
current European cultural heritage should take into consideration that

• cultural heritage not only incorporates anything inherited, selected and used in identity
formation, but also rearranges these entities into complex ensembles, which are in constant
dialogues between the levels of identity formation (from universal to local);

• European cultural heritage is constructed and re-constructed on and between these levels. As
identities are often formed according to rival interpretations, cultural heritage can also be the
target of these competing explanations of inheritance and legacies, i.e. a multitude of “authorized
heritage discourses” co-exist;
• The social and political construction and use of European cultural heritage inevitably redefines
the role of the representatives of Social Sciences and Humanities in these identity formations, in
which their critical and reflective tradition is a great asset, which needs to be transmitted through
innovative approaches and methodologies.

Meskell (2002, 568). Whilst the understanding of OUV as outstanding Universal Value’ (OUV)
is the fundamental condition for the definition of World Heritage. It is a challenging concept, and
many doubts have been raised concerning the term “universal” in this context. Universally
shared values, as something that can be acknowledged as such worldwide, are difficult to justify
in relation to more recent understanding of pluralization of heritage values. OUV has also been
criticized for being a Western construction, a concept, which “reinforces Western notions of
value and rights”.

(Labadi 2013, 57; Vahtikari 2017) whilst the understanding of OUV as something that can be
acknowledged worldwide is still present in the World Heritage discourse, the more recent
tendency has been to conceive it as something that is relative and culturally and socially
dependent.

(Cameron and Rössler, 2013, 94-95)The Experts Meeting on the Global Strategy (1994)
pointed out that OUV should be reviewed in regional rather than Universalist frameworks. Since
the mid-1990s, the World Heritage system has seen many decentralizing features.

(Loo, 1996) some cities are static, but most will change physically as their economies undergo
transformations.

(Yeah and Huang, 1996) in this process of physical change, cities and their communities are in
danger of losing their sense of place, their social connectivity and fabric, their environmental
integrity, and their cultural foundations.

Physical change means the alteration of buildings, of the space encompassing them, and of the
interactions they determine. By destroying this physical complex of structures and interactions,
change affects the essence of the community, and the way the people in that community live,
interact, and react to external stimuli.

These changes raise issues of protection of the architectural heritage. In recent years particularly,
the loss of cultural heritage as a result of globalization, massive reconstruction, and rapid
redevelopment of the urban fabric is becoming recognized as a pressing concern in developing
world cities especially in the secondary cities of Asia. Thus, cultural conservation, which just a
few years ago was not even considered part of the development priorities of developing nations,
is becoming an urgent concern of urban residents worried about the loss of cultural heritage.
Manila (CNN Philippines Life) — Remnants of the Philippines’ colonial history are
remembered through significant Spanish-era churches, stone houses, monuments, and other
historical sites scattered all over the Philippines. These structures are identified by official
heritage markers attached on visible areas within their premises. Heritage markers not only bear
the cultural and historical significance of a building or space. They also indicate that such
structure or area must be preserved and protected from destruction.

As May, National Cultural Heritage Month, comes to a close, it is important to raise awareness
on an important aspect of Philippine heritage: what is a heritage marker, and why is it crucial in
ensuring the protection and preservation of significant heritage structures?

The inscription of heritage markers on heritage structures can be traced back to the 1970s, when
then-President Marcos declared numerous historical and cultural structures as National Cultural
Treasures, National Shrines, Monuments and Landmarks. At that time, these heritage markers
merely declared the historical and cultural significance of heritage buildings or sites, and
provided no other legal implications.

(Kersel & Luke 2015: 71) heritage encompasses a broad and overarching term: “it” is
something that someone or a collective considers to be worthy of being valued, preserved,
catalogued, exhibited, restored, admired

(Appiah 1994: 111–112; Scheffler 2007: 107) discussions in the literature generally assume
a broad understanding of culture that is often not explicitly defined (e.g., Thompson 2003;
Young 2007), but those definitions that do appear typically take the form of open-ended lists:
culture is the product of human activity, particularly those things that are socially
transmitted, including beliefs, practices, objects, etc Culture is thus generally taken to be a
descriptive term that does not carry with it the evaluative and often elitist connotations of
culture as implying a certain kind of “civilization” (Appiah 1994: 111–114).
(Okin 1997; Brown 2005: 50–51) this “anthropological” definition of culture is sometimes
criticized as overly broad, failing to discriminate between those practices (e.g.) that are
worthwhile and those that are not (Logan 2007: 37), but it remains the general touchstone in
the literature. Indeed, culture is often treated as a “good” thing in the context of the cultural
heritage literature, despite the fact that some cultural practices are subject to serious moral
objections

In any event, though this anodyne definition of culture in general may be readily accepted,
defining any particular culture tends to be difficult and contentious (Scheffler 2007; Appiah
2006; Narayan 1998).

Proponents of cultural preservation or integrity are often accused of making misguided


assumptions about cultures as static, bounded wholes that are empirically and normatively
flawed (e.g., Benhabib 2002; Mezey 2007). Indeed, these criticisms surface in many
arguments concerning heritage ethics, as will be discussed in subsequent sections.

Harrison 2009: 9; Prott & O’Keefe 1992: 311) at its core, the concept of ‘heritage’ is
typically taken to mean the inheritance of something from the past (in the case of cultural
heritage, culture; Increasing attention to the range of ways that heritage is employed and
interpreted in contemporary contexts has led to an emphasis on the use of the past for present
purposes as an integral aspect of the definition of heritage itself (Harrison 2013: 14; Smith
2006: 44; Ashworth, Graham, & Tunbridge 2007: 3).
Recognition of this facet of heritage has opened up avenues for critique and reinterpretation
of the concept of heritage (Lowenthal 1998). By making manifest how heritage is used for
present purposes, we can identify tacit evaluative assumptions that may have gone
unremarked upon in the past. In particular, scholars have come to distinguish between
“official” and “unofficial” heritage (Harrison 2013: 14–15).
The idea of “official heritage” has been shaped in particular by Laurajane Smith’s analysis of
what she calls the Authorized Heritage Discourse (Smith 2006). This is the presentation of
heritage familiar to us from museums, national monuments, and other institutionally
endorsed understandings of heritage, such as the UNESCO World Heritage List. “Official
heritage” is thus often used by governments and cultural institutions to cultivate a sense of
national or cosmopolitan identity around some aspect of the past. As Smith summarizes:
(Smith 2010: 63) this dominant Western discourse stresses materiality, monumentality,
grandiosity, time depth, aesthetics and all that is ‘good’ in history and culture.
(Cleere 1996; Omland 2006; Matthes 2015) official heritage on the global scale of
UNESCO is typically presented as having a universal value that transcends local
attachments.

3. Research Methodology

Research Design

•The purpose of this study is to obtain intuition in Cultural Heritage. For example is how they
look after for the next generation.

Research Approach
•We are using discovery method, to collect data using the sources of documents and references
from the web.

Sampling Method

•Giving idea without word for word techniques. Moreover the researcher will have to figure out,
ether the thoughts and idea are came from other resources or not.

Data Collection Method

•The primary data will be collected fall under the discovery method where you can find in the
references domain.

Data Analysis Method

•This is mostly presented from qualitative thoughts from ideas relying in the web documents.
However, there will be further discussions in making of this research.

4. Expected results

Cultural Heritage expressed as either unable to be touched or perceptible by touch. Cultural


heritage can be unable to be touched, it involves feelings and emotions.

Touching the heart of other people represents the beauty in it. It gives value and perception even
though you are capable to do the work not just learning by doing but teaching them what they see
that affects other until they realize they can value even the small things. The feelings, emotions
and knowledge can pass from generation to generation, they don’t usually acknowledge but they
utilize it because they also think and register that culture is golden and it needs to preserve which
is well deserved.

The perceptible by touch talks about doing itself, you can see the act rather than abstract. It can
be distinguish for humankind and with that reason people can adopt the cultural heritage. This is
physical demonstration and people can identify what is happening in a certain situation. People
follow this act but sometimes they forgot the imperceptible of the culture. They only focus on
cognitive and skills rather than in psychological and behavioral traits.

Cultural Heritage also gain in every activity of humankind which is helpful and pertinent, it
produces tangible portrayal of the important attitude systems, points of you, historical convention
and way of life.

As crucial part of culture as one, Cultural Heritage, have these perceptible and touchable traces
form ancient times to the recent past. Cultural Heritage is a massive concept. It would be more
partial to concentrate on the comparable between the diverse heritage sectors, instead of on their
dissimilarity.

Cultural Heritage must well preserve and well cared so that other generations can glimpse and
understand the history and think where they belong and provide something and to be grateful and
be proud. Built Environment, Natural Environment and Artifacts will give further ideas.

Built Environment has two categories, the buildings and the townscapes. Buildings can be one of
the most famous cultural heritage, it gives the art of the period during their time and it cannot
absolutely purchase of money.

Building has a lot of values because of the materials they used. The art and structure is one of
that. It takes time to build a historic building, it gives too much pressure hundreds of years. Some
people died because of the treatment before like slavery and zero salary workers. They only give
their body and souls to that building with perfect reputation stand high and proud of their
creation.

Building has so much historic materials, some contains ceramics, gold, ocean materials and
other minerals that came from the earth surface. The other built environment is townscape, this is
also consider as urban landscape, as of now townscape is known of all people when it comes to
the country historic pattern, the arts and designs reflects the attitude and talent of the residents.
Natural Environment focuses on rural landscapes, Coasts, shorelines and agricultural heritage.
Rural landscapes give natural beauty for common individual, it remains legacy of the people due
to the unique beauty of the environment.

You don’t need to change because it comes from the thoughtful mother earth. Some areas of
rural landscapes are also known as man-made landscapes, they use for source of income like
fields and farms.

The other Natural environments are the coast and shorelines, it gives beauty creating into tourist
destinations where in spots or mark has its own and people cannot replace. Finally is agricultural
heritage, people until now know that agriculture gives a source of income that passes to other
bloodline. Some agriculture gives simple and normal attractiveness.

They are not focusing in beauty but the income of the sources like farm, fields and aquatic
businesses.

Artifacts talks about Books & Documents, Objects, and Pictures. Books and documents are
important because of content where in people should know what’s happening in the past. People
need to give more information about what’s going on before whether bad or good. It remains to
the people who has knowledge about their cultural heritage and to be heard and give pride to
their respective places.

The object in Cultural Heritage artifacts is one of the greatest import of the society. Object can
be seen in a naked eye, it can show to the people around the place or to the rest of the world.
Objects gives justice in the cultural heritage of a certain place because it symbolizes the
remarkable purpose long time ago.

The last is picture, it gives to the people imagination where thinking about how they survive and
realize the sympathy for being hard or easy life was. You can picture out the feelings of the
people and differentiate the life before and the life now.

Importance of Cultural Heritage

The importance cultural heritage is not the cultural display itself but rather the rich of knowledge
and skills that passes through it from one generation to another.
Cultural Heritage gives an important role in our life. It is what keeps us fond of to our religion,
traditions, & beliefs. In today’s generation we refer to cultural identity which means a group or
culture, or of an individual as far as he or she is influenced by his belonging to a group or
culture.

It is important to give awareness of Cultural Heritage and the ethics of its care in study to help
communities for the better understanding and preserve or care their heritage. Culture heritage can
give people a connection to certain social values, beliefs, religions and customs.

It allows them to identify with others of similar mindsets and backgrounds. Cultural heritage can
give a sense of unity and belonging within a group and allowed us to know about ancient
generations and the history of where we come from.

5. Milestone and Timeline

A milestone is a clearly determined the collection of discovery of references and sources of


accomplishments of a task. The overall task might visualize as follows.

Firstly is the gathering of resources and documents using the discovery method from the
references of article and web.

Secondly is giving of thoughts and ideas of the said topic. Thirdly is elimination of ideas that
needs to further discussion and revise the important part of the research.

 Thoughts and ideas of references and files include in discovery method.

 Each task has further discussion in the said topic related on certain references.

 Each references must have feedbacks and outcomes received.

 Article and references of the study are collaborating of the author.

Task/Timeline Chart
It is useful to develop a Task/Timeline Chart. The discovery research consist of five tasks that
are to be done sequentially .Thus, Task 1 is to be done on Day 1, Task 2 on Day 2 and Task 3 on
Day 3.

DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3

Task 1 xxxxxx

Task 2 xxxxxx

Task 3 xxxxxx

The task illustrates the duration on consuming the time of the research. These follows represent
the daily task on making the research.

Task 1

•Collecting of resources.

Task 2

•Elimination and add up of ideas.

Task 3

•Revising and completing of ideas


6. Conclusion

Culture Heritage is life-preserving in our daily life. It is being made up of practices and traditions
that are passed on from our parents to children or passed from the family, community and place
where people have been raised. As a small country, preserving unique culture and tradition
provides strong mental resources for self-sufficiency. For this reason, all citizens should be

Aware that cultural heritage provides an independent expressions .It is our responsibility to keep
our world history intact for the future generation so that they can get the same opportunity to
learn about the past and their own roots.

The most advantageous way to maintain our cultural heritage, whatever it may be, is to share it
with others. It is our state of having a duty to keep world history impaired for the next young
generation so that they may have the same opportunities to have knowledge about the past and
their own roots as we have.

How can we contribute to prevent and conserve of our cultural heritage? Home is the basic unit
of the society, we can teach and build knowledge our respective children to practice the
traditions and beliefs of our own ancestors and teach them to continue to pass it on to future
generations.

Teach them to give pride of their roots especially if they know very few other children of the
same heritage because as all we know, new generations adopt other culture without knowing that
