 What is It

What is culture?
Culture refers to a group of people's characteristics or way of life,
including language, religion, cuisine, social practices, music, and the arts. The
word "culture" comes from a French term that comes from the Latin "colere,"
which means "to tend to the ground and flourish," as well as "cultivation" and
"nurture."

Examples:

Beliefs are the tenets or convictions that people hold to be true. It is a state or
habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing.

Here are some examples of Filipino beliefs:

• Guests should not open the door while the family is eating because that
family’s good fortune will fly out the door.
• A person with two cowlicks in his hair is said to be mischievous.
• A person who dreams of numbers will win the lottery
• When you dream about a friend wearing white, it means he/she is
getting married.
• When a person breaks an egg and sees two egg yolks, he/she will
become wealthy.

Views is an opinion or judgment tinted by the holder’s feelings or biases.

Values are a culture's guide to determining what is right and wrong in society.
Values are firmly ingrained in a culture's ideas and are essential for
transmitting and teaching them. Values assist in the shaping of a culture by
indicating what is good and bad, beautiful and ugly, and should be pursued or
avoided.

One-way societies strive to put values into action is through:

• rewards
• sanctions
• punishments

➢ When people observe the norms of society and uphold its values, they
are often rewarded.
➢ A boy who helps an elderly woman board a bus may receive a smile and
a “thank you.”
➢ A quarterly incentive may be given to a business management who
improves profit margins. People either positively sanction or negatively
sanction specific activities by expressing support, acceptance, or
permission, or by invoking official policies of disapproval and non-
support.
