 INTRODUCTION
The process of selection, whether it's in
the context of choosing individuals for a
job, a team, or even a mate, can be
influenced by a variety of factors,
including culture, history, environment,
and others. There are a few specific
breakdowns of how these factors may
play a role in the decision-making of
02
multiple individuals.
 CULTURE
Culture is a complex of features held by
a social group, which may be as small
as a family or a tribe or as large as a
racial or ethnic group, a nation, or in the
age of globalization, by people all over
the world. Culture has been called "the
way of life for an entire society."
03
 CULTURE
It includes codes of manners, dress, language,
religion, rituals, norms of behavior such as law and
morality, and belief systems. However, culture is not
fixed or static: rather, it involves a dynamic process
as people respond to changing conditions and
challenges.
04
 HISTORY
History is the study of the past. History also
includes the academic discipline that uses a
narrative to describe, examine, question, and
analyze a sequence of past events and
investigate the patterns of cause and effect
related to them. History provides us with a
sense of identity. By understanding where we
have come from, we can better understand who
05
we are.
 HISTORY
History provides a sense of context for our lives and
our existence. It helps us understand the way things
are and how we might approach the future. They
may also have a significant influence on areas
involving politics, culture, and scientific research.

05
 ENVIRONMENT
An environment is a place where different
things, living (biotic) or nonliving (abiotic),
constantly interact with and adapt to
conditions in their environment. A person's
environment is the event and culture that the
person lived in. The environment is everything
around us. A person's beliefs and actions
depend on their environment.

 IMPORTANCE OF KNOWING CULTURE,
HISTORY, AND ENVIRONMENT:
1. We get to understand the people and the world better
2. It helps us understand ourselves.
3. Knowledge of one’s culture is increased.
4. It helps us overcome and prevent racial and ethnic
divisions.
5. We get exposure to new experiences.
6. We become more prepared to cope with the ever-
changing world.
7. It helps us develop a new level of appreciation about
08 everything.
 A HERITAGE OF SMALLNESS - NICK
JOAQUIN
Society for the Filipino is a small rowboat: the
barangay. Geography for the Filipino is a small
locality: the barrio. History for the Filipino is a
small vague saying: matanda pa kay mahoma;
noong peacetime. Enterprise for the Filipino is a
small stall: the sari-sari. Industry and
production for the Filipino are the small
immediate searchings of each day: isang kahig,
09 isang tuka. And commerce for the Filipino is the
smallest degree of retail: the tingi.
 A HERITAGE OF SMALLNESS - NICK
JOAQUIN
What most astonishes foreigners in the Philippines is
that this is a country, perhaps the only one in the
world, where people buy and sell one stick of cigarette,
half a head of garlic, a dab of pomade, part of the
contents of a can or bottle, one single egg, one single
banana. To foreigners used to buying things by the
carton or the dozen or pound and in the large economy
09 sizes, the exquisite transactions of Philippine tingis
cannot but seem Lilliputian.
 A HERITAGE OF SMALLNESS - NICK
JOAQUIN
So much effort by so many for so little. Like all those
children risking neck and limb in the traffic to sell one
stick of cigarette at a time. Or those grown-up men
hunting the sidewalks all day to sell a puppy or a
lantern or a pair of socks. The amount of effort they
spend seems out of all proportion to the returns. Such
folk are, obviously, not enough. Laboriousness just can
09 never be the equal of labor as skill, labor as audacity,
labor as enterprise.
 A HERITAGE OF SMALLNESS - NICK
JOAQUIN
The Filipino who travels abroad gets to thinking that
his is the hardest working country in the world. By six
or seven in the morning we are already up on our way
to work, shops and markets are open; the wheels of
industry are already a grind. Abroad, especially in the
West, if you go out at seven in the morning you’re in a
dead-town. Everybody’s still in bed; everything’s still
09 closed up.
 A HERITAGE OF SMALLNESS - NICK
JOAQUIN
Activity doesn’t begin till nine or ten– and ceases
promptly at five p.m. By six, the business sections are
dead towns again. The entire city goes to sleep on
weekends. They have a shorter working day, a shorter
working week. Yet they pile up more mileage than we
who work all day and all week.

factors, and cultural, historical, environmental, and
