UNDERSTANDING CULTURE, SOCIETY AND POLITICS

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
CULTURAL, SOCIAL, POLITICAL, AND ECONOMIC SYMBOLS AND
PRACTICES (WEEK 5)

LEARNING ACTIVITY 4 – LET’S APPLY!

1. Cultural differences are often expressed in the “generation gap”. Choose
one each from the list of symbols mentioned that you and your parents share
and believe in (e.g. religion, education, and family values), as well as those that
you disagree with (e.g music, clothing, and love relationships). How will you
explain these differences based on the lesson?
➢ Many people don’t think about their family values until a crisis arises
that forces them to make decisions that may go against their beliefs.
While they may have never identified their values, all of sudden they are
faced with realization that something doesn’t quite fit into what they
believe in. this is when people realize how important family values are
to the structure and operation of their family system.

2. Why do knowing about the cultural, social, political, economic symbols of

different groups or nationality important?
➢ Learning these things makes you better able to relate to your fellow
citizens. Learn all you can about other people and you will be able to
respect them and celebrate with them even if your practices and beliefs
are different than theirs. That is the promise of western civilization. My
own community, since you ask, is the united states and we had a major
period of reckoning with our symbols and practices this year.
