Engaged Yourself!!!

1. Define and elaborate the word culture in your previous knowledge.

Flexible. Dynamic. Foundation. The best words for me that describe

culture. Apparently, as a third year college student this isn’t new to me and I can

still clearly recall what I’ve learned from the previous year.

Culture is, without a doubt, flexible. It is subject to alter over time. People will

pick up new skills and apply them on a daily basis, and this will become ingrained

in our culture. We exchange thoughts and ideas with others through socialization,

and we accept something into it as a result. As a direct consequence, new symbols,

conventions, and language emerge, demonstrating that culture is dynamic.

Without culture, we would not be who we are today. It's the foundation on

which we've built our lives. It's pointless to live if you don't live with culture.

Culture gives our life a splash of color. Every now and again, we can appreciate

tidbits of culture that can be passed on to future generations.

Process Questions

1. What is the significance of understanding culture in this

contemporary world?

We are living in a diverse world. We are accustomed with different

traditions, norms, rituals, and a lot more. We are not just divided by

boundaries, we also have different principles and laws.

Come to think of it, have you ever wondered by there are a lot of war

in early years? Multiple bombings, killings, and racism. It is because we

lived in a world where superiority is complex. In order to reach the peak,

you will do whatever it takes to reach it. And the result? Chaos.

We have gone through many uphill battle. At this point of time where

modernization takes place, let culture be the key of oneness.

Understanding culture create a big impact in reaching peace and

harmony in our society.

Respect will return to the giver when it is earned. Respecting each

other differences, race and norms will not just bring utmost armistice in

the country but in the whole world. Culture speaks for all of us. It needs

to be treasured to reflect a significant social change.

Process Questions

1. In what way culture affects one’s personality?

The basic foundation of a society is the family. In that unit, the family

will influence and mold the younger once how to behave and act

accordingly. Although some people believe that we have complete control

over our personalities, the reality is that our personalities are influenced

by a variety of factors outside our control.

Other people have the ability to mold our personalities. Our personalities

might be influenced by our surroundings. Even sicknesses and toxins have

the ability to alter our personalities.

In a similar vein, culture, religion, and ethnicity can all have an affect

on our personality. As a matter of fact, culture has an impact on how we

learn, live, and act. Say for example, Filipino are very helpful. We always

extend hand to other who are in need. That already became our culture.

Like a corollary, many psychologists feel that culture has a significant

impact on our personalities. Individuals' interpretations of a particular

event may change from culture to culture. Therefore, it is important that

we incorporate our understanding of how culture is related to individual

differences in behavior.

Reflecting

In this lesson, I have learned that our country has a diverse cultural

past that should be celebrated, studied, and adopted. It is vital at this time

for students to study what kind of culture existing in the past and to

understand that culture is adaptive and may evolve for future generations.

Despite the reality that human instinct may quickly learn and apply

a particular entity's culture, some activities are intended to be

destructive. Given the fact that it is common sense to eradicate this

concept in order to reduce poverty among indigenous people, some

subcultures continue to do so.

Bayanihan, traditional weddings, christams, and Ramadan are

examples of beliefs, rituals, and customs that we hold dear and continue to

follow today. Culture is not just a word hence, it’s the embodiment of

human soul. As a student, it is vital that you embrace our culture. Let us

not forget our origins, and let culture be our foundation and flourish as

youth.
