Key Concepts:
For anthropologists, culture is the reference point by which people organize
themselves and make sense of themselves as members of their own society. For that
matter, anthropology regards culture as the “acquired cognitive and symbolic
aspects of human existence, whereas society refers to the social organization of
human life, patterns of interaction and power relationships” (Eriksen 2001: 4).
The etymology or origin of the term anthropology can be traced back to two Greek
words, ‘Anthropos’ and ‘logos’. When translated into English, ‘Anthropos’ means
‘human’ while ‘logos’ refers to ‘knowledge’ (Eriksen 2001: 2). In this sense,
anthropology can be understood as the ‘knowledge about humans’ (Ibid.)
If you think about all of the knowledge and experiences that we gain over the course
of our lives, the amount that helped shape our worldview are probably too numerous
to count. For example, when we are young, our parents' perspectives directly inform
our own opinions on things like politics or religion, while later experiences, like
romantic relationships, shape our perception of love and the levels of emotional risk
that we find acceptable. In sociology, such knowledge and experiences are referred
to as social phenomena, which are the individual, external, social constructions
that influence our lives and development, and are constantly evolving as we age. One
of the most important aspects of social phenomena is that it involves one person's
observable behavior influencing another person. For example, racism is a social
phenomenon because it is an ideology that people have constructed that directly
affects another group, forcing them to change their behaviors.
Sociology is the systematic study of human society (Macionis 2012: 2), focusing
particularly on the dynamic interplay between individual and society. At the heart of
sociology is the sociological perspective, a special point of view of sociology that sees
general patterns of society in the lives of particular people (Ibid.).
If you think about all of the knowledge and experiences that we gain over the course
of our lives, the amount that helped shape our worldview are probably too numerous
to count.
Political science is the study of politics and power from domestic, international, and
comparative perspectives. It entails understanding political ideas, ideologies,
institutions, policies, processes, and behavior, as well as groups, classes,
government, diplomacy, law, strategy, and war. Politics, in its broadest sense, is the
activity through which people make, preserve and amend the general rules under
5
which they live. Politics is thus inextricably linked to the phenomena of conflict and
cooperation.

Understanding Culture, Society, and Politics is as much as important as studying

mathematics and physical sciences. By studying society, culture and politics, we are
able to dig deeper on the other dimensions of human being. We discover the origin
of human society and how it changes over time. This was made possible through
decades of research made by social scientist. These studies paved the way to the
different fields of social science particularly anthropology, Sociology and Political
science. But what made these social sciences distinct to each other? Let’s find out!

Key Concepts:
CULTURE and SOCIETY as a COMPLEX WHOLE
Edward Tylor, one of the founders of modern anthropology, characterize

culture as a “complex whole” which encompasses beliefs, practices, traits, values,
attitudes, laws, norms, artifacts, symbols, knowledge and everything that a person
learns and shares as a member of the society.1
The “complex whole” above suggests that culture cannot be simply broken down into
a set of characteristics. It means that an understanding of a part can only be achieved
in relation to other parts of the system. This requires an approach where all at once,
one can get an appreciation of what culture is all about without being bothered by
its complexity or by any definition that attempts to capture such complexity.
A society cannot exist apart from culture. A society may refer to group of people that
follows or shares same cultures. People, as members of the society, possess, produce
and also transmit culture but they cannot consider themselves as culture. No
culture can exist without social interaction in society; meanwhile, society cannot
exist in the absence of people who have learned to live and work together.
CHARACTERISTICS of CULTURE
1. Culture is social because it is the product of behavior.
Culture does not exist in isolation. It is a product of society. It develops
through social interaction. No man can acquire culture without association
with others.
2. Culture varies from society to society.

Every society has a culture of its own that differs from other societies. The
culture of every society is unique by itself. Cultures are not uniform.
Cultural elements like customs, traditions, morals, values, and beliefs are
not constant
3. Culture is shared.
Culture is not something that an individual alone can possess. Culture, in
sociological sense, is shared. For example, people of a society share all
customs, traditions, beliefs, ideas, values, morals, etc.
4. Culture is learned.
Culture is not inborn. It is learned. Unlearned behavior then, is not
culture. Shaking hands, saying thanks, etc. are cultural behaviors.
5. Culture is transmitted among members of society.

Cultural ways are learned by people from others. Many of these ways are
handed down from elders, parents, teachers, and others (most likely
individuals of older generation), while other cultural behaviors are handed
up to elders. Transmission of culture is made possible by language.
Language is the main vehicle of culture. Transmission of culture may take
place also through imitation as well as through instruction.

D. It unites us as one and make us even more proud of our own culture.
Key Concepts:
Cultural Relativism
The postmodern view of culture challenges the notion that there is a single definition
of culture. Postmodern analysis of culture shows that culture is like a narrative or
story. It can have multiple meanings and it can exist independently of the people who
created them. Culture like a story can have a life of its own. They, therefore, challenge
the idea that culture is the same for everyone. They espouse cultural relativism and
reject any search for cultural universals. Cultural Relativism is simply the belief that
all cultures as equally complex. There is no such thing as superior and inferior
culture. They also challenge the idea that there is such thing as “master narrative”
that underlines all cultural forms as structuralists believed. Rather, cultures are
equally complex and they should be interpreted based on their own logic and form.
There is no all-encompassing form to interpret cultures.
The concept of cultural relativism underscores the idea that the culture in every
society should be understood and regarded on its own terms. Societies are
qualitatively different from one another, such that each one has its own “unique
inner logic” (Eriksen 2001: 14). Cultural traits can only be known and valued in the
context of the society by which they emerge and are practiced
Cultural relativism promotes the idea that a society has to be viewed from the inside
so that inner logic can be better explained. A society’s idea of a good life will not likely
be shared by another society that interprets the notion of “good” from a sharply
different social perspective. In other words, each society has a different yardstick in
appreciating the value of its own cultural trait. Cultural relativism, however, cannot
be regarded as the flip side of ethnocentrism. The concept of cultural relativism is
more analytical and methodological rather than being a moral principle.
Anthropologists apply the concept of cultural relativity in investigating and
comparing societies without declaring one being better or more preferable to the
other.
Ethnocentrism
The dominant approach, the postcolonial theorists argue, simply reflected the
mainstream view of western scholars. That is, the Eurocentric idea that Europian
culture or way of life is the model for all cultures to emulate. Ethnocentrism is as old
as culture but it is a modern word, invented at the opening of 20th century by William
Graham Sumner (1906), an eminent professor of political and social science at Yale.
Having studied the “folk ways” of different cultures, Sumner arrived at the conclusion
that people tend to believe their way of doing things is superior to others. He,
therefore defines ethnocentrism as the “technical name for this view of things in
which one’s own group is the center of everything” (quoted in Kinder and Kam 2010,
p.1).
When people find cultural practices and values not their own as disturbing and
threatening, that can be regarded as ethnocentrism. A literal meaning of
ethnocentrism is the regard that one’s own culture and society is the center of
everything and therefore far more superior than others (Kottak 2012: 39; Eriksen

19
2001:7). It is understandable that people laud and hold importance to the cultural
values that were taught them by their parents, elders, and other institutions of their
society. The problem is when a person or groups of people regard their own society’s
set of cultural values as the only agreeable, acceptable, and highly respectable set of
convictions.
Activity 1: My culture is different!
Directions: The activity table shows how your culture differ in so many ways
regarding different phenomena. Write your action with respect to your own culture

Hand Gestures Hand Gestures
The V- hand gesture is an offensive sign
in United Kingdom, Australia, and
South Africa. In Japan, China, and
South Korea, using this symbol with the
palm facing the person means he/she is
looking cute in picture.

Individuals practicing Hinduism believe
in many of gods and goddesses. All are
responsible for governing their lives,
destiny, and fate.

Activity 2: Reflecting to other culture!

Its undeniable that Filipinos love street foods. Some of these foods are the
iconic Balut that is made from a boiled fertilized embryo of a duck egg, kwek2x, isaw,
tempura, and many more. Other countries also loved street foods like we do. The
picture above is an example of a street food vendor in Thailand. But what makes
some foreigners excited and afraid about Thai street foods is that there is a food stall
that offers exotic food. As you can see in the picture below it is made of fried insects
such as scorpions, crickets, bugs, worms and many other bizarre foods.
1. Applying your understanding of cultural relativism, as a Filipino, how would

you react to the picture provided?
